Taxpayers, Not Tech Giants: The Hidden Costs of Reopening Three Mile Island
- Nuclear Waste and Safety

As the nation faces critical choices about energy and technology, a troubling reality emerges: taxpayers, not big corporations, are footing the bill for the reopening of Three Mile Island, the site of the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history. Equally as disadvantageous for taxpayers is the lack of financial risk for the owners should their work be negligent in reopening Three Mile Island. That’s because the Price-Anderson Act limits nuclear industry liability in the event of a disaster to about 1% of the damage. Owners are off the hook for damages even if they are negligent and under Price-Anderson, taxpayers are responsible and pay for these damages.
