Radiation Leak at Three Mile Island

Uh-oh.

THREE MILE ISLAND - November 22, 2009 (WPVI) -- We are learning more this morning about a reported radiation leak at Three Mile Island. [...]

The NRC now says about 20 employees were treated for exposure following the incident at one of the reactors. Originally, there were reports that more 100 workers had to be decontaminated.

The cause of the leak is under investigation. The entire plant is shut down.

My house is practically equidistant between TMI and Limerick. Hooray.
