I was in kindergarten about 13 miles away when the Three Mile Island (TMI) accidentally occurred. I recall people being panicked about it and my neighbors jamming up the roads trying to get away. There was great controversy when they wanted to restart the undamaged reactor. Most of the controversy surrounding whether the operator could be trusted to run the plant safely as the accident was largely the result of poor management and inadequately qualified operators at the controls. Despite having lived through all that I still support nuclear power. I think a standardized design approach like they have in France is the right way to go as it can lower costs and improve safety. I think standardization can also improve trust by reducing the likelihood that human factors could cause an accident.
