The Killing of Karen Silkwood

I was in junior high school when this all happened and the only reason I know about it is because I had to make a presentation on a current event and saw the small article in the newspaper about a woman who ran off the road in the next state over. Not exactly sure what else was in the article that peaked my interest.

I've read many books written in layman's terms on the US's history of atomics from the 50s to the 90s and seen alot of atomic situations gone bad over the years. I'm so thankful I was too young to care about how ignorant the US was in the 70s to know how negligent those involved really were with the health and safety of their people and the communities around them.

I just heard that Three Mile Island is being brought back to life and I'm seriously holding my breath. How will those in charge handle what's currently there and bring it up to code (or not) to the much higher standards of technology and safety that have resulted due to whistleblowers like Karen Silkwood.
