bigwordsandsharpedges:Fun Fact! Nobody died from the Three Mile Island incident. In fact, nobody even got cancer from the radiation. There was no explosion and the radiation was mostly released as a little puff of nonreactive xenon gas. The surrounding town was exposed to about 1.4 mrem of additional radiation. The average chest x-ray hits you with about 3.2 mrem, and living in a high altitude city like Denver usually gives you an extra 80 mrem annually, due to less atmosphere shielding you from ambient cosmic radiation. -- source link
