BY JILL MATLOW In the 1970s, if someone mentioned TMI to me, I immediately thought of Three Mile Island. For those of you too young to remember, Three Mile Island was the location of the most significant accident in US commercial nuclear plant history. The accident occurred on March 28, 1979 in reactor number 2 of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station located near Harrisburg, PA. These days, if you google TMI, guess what comes up first? That’s right - “Urban Dictionary: Too much information”. Looks like we really have our priorities in order as we have now replaced information about significant historical events with information about the latest slang and acronyms.
