From the Paper:

"Three Mile Island," To many, those three words are associated with other words like "nuclear meltdown," "radioactive release," and "damaged environment." Many people know very little about how a nuclear reactor works, what kinds of nuclear reactors there are, exactly what happened at Three Mile Island, and how many dangers could have been prevented. The truths behind these ideas, and facts to back them up are all apparent in this paper."
