The reactions of the residents of the areas surrounding Three Mile Island to the nuclear accident of 1979. The authors present unedited interviews conducted between 1979 and 1986. They analyze the transformation of community attitudes industry and government, from complacency and trust to the assertiveness and cynicism characterised by the NIMBY sydndrome. They argue that the mistrust and anger that followed the accident changed the way residents of Goldsboro and Newberry view government, technology and private enterprise.
