Hydrogen danger at TMI 2 warned a decade ago
Washington columnist Jack Anderson reports federal officials downplayed hydrogen gas risks at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 before construction. A 1969 AEC evaluation warned hydrogen would form in a loss of coolant and control methods were not yet established.

The piece also notes a Lafayette Indiana family changing vacation plans due to Carter’s energy message and a bluefish photo incident.
