For some, Japanese nuclear emergency mirrors 1979's Three Mile Island accident
From the Patriot News:
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Dick Thornburgh said he experienced “a large dose of deja vu” as he watched news of the nuclear reactor crisis in Japan.
In March 1979, Thornburgh had been in office for only 72 days when a relief valve failed to close on the Unit 2 reactor at Three Mile Island, producing what Thornburgh called "the chilling prospect of a meltdown at the facility."
The circumstances are different in Japan, said Thornburgh, but the problems are very similar.
