    That’s fair. They implied more radiation got out then was disclosed but life has kept me from digging into that claim so… not sure. Given the lack of major disasters (absent Tsunamis and Chernobyl) I’d say we’re either doing well with safety or very, very lucky.

      They vented quite a bit of gas. More than they even knew. The real question would be water seepage, but none had seemed to detect any.

        I’m going to be cautious with my words so I don’t doxx myself. I worked with the raw data for the environmental and groundwater program for TMI for about seven years. The legacy contamination onsite from '79 is heavily monitored and an annual report is created every year for both the environmental program and the groundwater program.

        Those reports are available on the NRC website.
