Uit de publicatie:

There are seventy-two nuclear reactors operating in the United States today. 
Three Mile Island is an important and disturbing report on what the proliferation
of nuclear plants means to you, your family, and your future.

The nuclear accident at Three Mile Island provided a dramatic and unscheduled test 
of the safety precautions and emergency procedures at a typical nuclear-power plant. 
In this absorbing account Daniel F. Ford traces the development of Three Mile Island 
and explains why the accident occurred, how it was handled, and what it portends for 
the future of nuclear power. Drawing on government documents and the private 
records of plant designers, Mr. Ford exposes the cost-cutting practices permitted by 
lax federal standards and shows how inadequate instruments, the ineptitude of plant 
operators, and mismanagement by everyone from the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission on down inevitably led to the near disaster of March 28, 1979.
