Riassunto:

An updated account of the accident at the nuclear power plant at Three Mile Island, based on interviews with key personnel, details the disastrous combination of mechanical failure and human error that nearly led to a reactor meltdown and offers a new introduction and epilogue that explores the current threat to the nuclear power industry. Reprint.

Product Description: By 6:00 AM on the morning of the 28th March, 1979, the reactor core at Three Mile Island was thirty minutes away from a meltdown, an apocalypse that would render a huge swathe of eastern Pennsylvania permanently uninhabitable. The control room was at a loss. The memo that would have warned them was never sent. This factual thriller is based on exclusive interviews with key operating personnel and has been updated with an analysis of the current threats to nuclear power plants.
