That did not come right in the previous message, for some reason. It
is from 1997:

Statement of Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
"What we have here is a nuclear management nightmare of Northeast
Utilities' own making... at Connecticut Yankee"
Some people say there have been no serious nuclear accidents in the
US other than Three Mile Island. Some say there is nothing to worry
about. Such people know nothing about nuclear power! There have been,
and continue to be, very serious & expensive incidents. The industry
has made progress since 1979, but it would be foolish to rule out the
possibility of another accident on the scale of Three Mile Island.
I think that uranium fission is inherently dangerous and always will
be. Of course it is safer than coal, but that isn't saying much.
That's like saying it is safer to cross the Atlantic on the Santa
Maria than the Kon-Tiki reed raft. Both are unacceptably dangerous
and primitive, and I am sure we can do better.
