_You are now paying for the next Three Mile Island_

The future of new US reactor construction hinges on massive loan guarantees

and handouts. The public number is $54 billion, but the Nuclear

Information & Resource Service says the real bill could top a trillion.

As aged nukes stumble toward oblivion, various funds allegedly set aside

for decommissioning may be significantly under-funded, deeply exacerbating

the financial battles that now encircle the industry.

 

To this day the families of those harmed by radiation at Three Mile Island

have been denied the right to make their case in federal court.

Desperate for cash, the nuclear industry wants us all to pay hundreds of

billions for the joy of living downwind from still more Three Mile Islands

for which they intend to assume NO liability.

They want our money AND our lives.
