Nuclear fearwas very real

I AM saddened that David Sowby (May 5) felt the need to sneer at my expressions of fear during the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear accident.

Does he always belittle victim’s fears?

The only shocks I referred to were the those of finding out that the nuclear industry lied and that nuclear power is very expensive. I mentioned that when a nuclear accident happens, all concerned admit that we are in dangerous, unknown territory. We, the victims were also on our own. Afterwards they blamed ‘the operators’, as they did in Chernobyl. I lived through this and so did thousands of others around Harrisburg in Pennsylvania. Despite Mr Sowby’s cavalier dismissal, our fear was very real.
