The $30 million or so is hardly the issue; the Pentagon spends that amount in less than an hour.

The twin reactors at the Pennsylvania site have remained shut since the disastrous near meltdown of Unit 2. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in a 4-to-1 vote, ruled last week that the GPU Nuclear Corp., which runs Three Mile Island, could reopen the undamaged Unit 1, which had no part in the accident...
