Calvin Nolt gets more harmful radiation from a day in the sun than from a year near the Three Mile Island Generating Station, where steam rises from two cooling towers that serve the one reactor still in use there. In 1979, this was the site of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history. No U.S. nuclear plants have been commissioned since.
