The worst commercial nuclear accident in US history became the country’s biggest cover-up. Time and again, the nuclear industry insisted that no one had been harmed. Four mothers were labelled ‘concerned housewives’, a young journalist was caught in the radioactive crossfire, and two lawyers took the community’s case all the way to the Supreme Court. Today, these people are telling their stories about the Three Mile Island accident. And although the disaster took place in 1979, the physical and political effects on the community, its residents and their descendants can still be felt today. A radical new health study may finally reveal the truth about the meltdown.
