Don't forget that the right wing mouthpieces had their part in affecting the debates.

The "Worst nuclear disaster in US history."
The proper final quote was "Worst Civilian nuclear disaster in US history."
The were a few US military nuclear reactor failures that cause direct death to operators that I would consider worse. And of course the Great Britain and Canada civilian nuclear reactor failures were worse.
This was would made me decide that newspapers are written by ignorant morons. I was an High School Student when the newspapers said 3 Mile Island was the worse nuclear accident in the world. Months before working on a nuclear power debate, I found more data in a small town school library on the subject than the so called newspaper reporters.
