This cost about $1 billion. There were no health affects. This stopped 51 nuclear reactors from being built in the U.S. Its aftermath brought about sweeping changes involving emergency response planning, reactor operator training, human factors engineering, radiation protection, and many other areas of nuclear power plant operations]]> 2017-12-15 19:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/s23kayers/6equ6cko870s/wish/216616881 How is it the same as the Triangle Factory Fire? s23kayers https://padlet.com/s23kayers/6equ6cko870s/wish/216620132
  • After both, laws were changed to increase safety
  • They both happened in the U.S.
  • It was human caused
