It was 4 A.M. at the nuclear power plant on an island in the middle of the Susquehanna River. Suddenly, in Unit 2, an alarm shrieked. Something was going wrong inside the plant. Within minutes, human error and technical failure triggered the worst nuclear power accident in the United States and, within hours, the eyes of the world were on Three Mile Island. Wilborn Hampton, author of the award-winning "Kennedy Assassinated! The World Mourns: A Reporter's Story", transports readers to another pivotal moment in American history. Thirty-four years after the dawn of the atomic age and the bombing of Hiroshima, the crisis at Three Mile Island re-awoke the world to the dangers of nuclear power, and foreshadowed a disaster at a Soviet plant in Chernobyl. Now, in "Meltdown", Hampton tells the hour-by-hour story of covering the nuclear accident as a U.P.I. (United Press International) reporter. His riveting eyewitness account will compel readers to consider one of the most serious questions facing humankind: where can we find affordable, sustainable energy, and at what risk?' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first impression of the true first edition, published in the USA in 2001, complete in its original dustwrapper in beautiful collector's condition. A very uncommon book to find in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
