The Three Mile Island accident of 1979 changed the future of the nuclear industry, making the public more aware of the dangers of having a nuclear plant next door.
The accident shattered a naïve sense of trust, and forced government officials and the industry to look more closely at security and safety issues.
Robert Del Tredici, a Canadian photographer, artist and teacher, documented that pivotal time 30 years ago. His first book documented the people living around the Three Mile Island nuclear facility.
Published in 1980, the book was part sociology and part critique of nuclear power. Since then, Del Tredici has gone on to publish other books on the nuclear industry, as well as teaching and working with government officials.
