I think we all owe him thanks, as he was the perfect President to be in charge during the Three Mile Island incident. Many people don't know that Carter was a nuclear engineer in the Navy, and probably our most intelligent president. Carter is probably the only president who could have had any understanding of what was going on inside the reactor. I've read, but not substantiated, that Carter corrected erroneous calculations of the experts, which led to the solution that allowed the reactor to be brought under control. Most people also don't realize that the reactor core was within a few hours of melting through the bottom of the containment vessel. Had that happened, the entire Eastern seaboard would have been irradiated and large areas rendered uninhabitable. On second thought, that would probably have been an improvement. Anyway, I salute Jimmy Carter for his service to the nation, and will pray for him.</p></blockquote><p></p>
