The way people sue energy by wasting electricity and the resources that are used to produce it (coal, gas, oil) we will be forced to build more and more nuclear power plants to produce e

The most serious nuclear accident in the United States occurred at Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania in 1979. A coolant pipe was accidentally blocked due to cleaning and repairs the blockage allowed no water to reach the reactor core to cool it down and the core ruptured and leaked radioactive particles into the atmosphere. The core itself came close to meltdown. If the core had melted down much of Pennsylvania, the radioactive fallout would have contaminated New York and New Jersey. Today's nuclear power plants are relatively safe but the problem of accidents increases with every new plant that is built.

Accidents within nuclear power plants are very rare in the United States. This does not mean that they do not occur. One accident occurred in the early 1980's. There was a fire at Yankee Atomic, a nuclear
