As one unit at #ThreeMileIsland eyes restart, decommission of other stalls
"March 28 1979, Unit 2 experienced partial core #meltdown due to cooling failure.. At the time of #accident, te failure of a pressure valve to close allowed cooling water to escape as steam, with #nuclear fuel ultimately melting in te overheated reactor core. When operators reintroduced water, #radioactive material spread thru . other buildings.. EnergySol'ns plans to remove #contaminants by 2029"🤦‍♂️

Contaminants in #fish: The most polluted zones are the Mediterranean & Northwest Pacific. PCBs, #pesticides & phthalates are widespread; #arsenic is found at much higher concentrations than regulated metals in #fishery products. Emerging #contaminants are unregulated: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma... #health
