That one reactor had a partial meltdown - nothing like Chernobyl or more recently, Fukushima Daiichi

When I first started working for the agency I retired from, a bunch of my co-workers told me that they had all been sent ( "all hands on deck" thing) to Harrisburg at the time to do surveillance/testing/monitoring.
