There was a discussion not too long ago on radioactivity of coal-fired
power plants vs. nukes.  I have an interesting question on the
subject - Does anyone know how long a coal fired power plant with the
same generating capacity as the crippled Three Mile Island plant would
have to run to release as much radioactivity as the TMI plant released
during the accident there?  Mail me the answer and please include
references.  I will post to the net if there is enough interest.
Thank you.
