President Carter, now in his last days, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.

Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.

The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.

I had no idea. I have no idea why this isn't widely known

How a future U.S. president helped avert nuclear disaster near Canada's capital | CBC News

In 1952, an experimental nuclear reactor in Chalk River, Ont., about 180 kilometres northwest of Ottawa, partially melted down, becoming the world's first nuclear reactor incident. Disaster was averted, in part, with help from future U.S. president Jimmy Carter.

@kevinrns His presidency was largely defined by US reaction to the energy crisis, but his most famous project after leaving office showed him building suburban sprawl for poor people, apparently worsening energy- and car-dependency.

I don't really understand it. One of the reasons he lost in 1980 is his TV speech where he likened Americans to spoiled, wasteful children (and I'm not necessarily disagreeing with his sentiment).
