28 March 1979 - THREE MILE ISLAND PLANT SUFFERS A PARTIAL MELTDOWN:
Fears of radioactive contamination run rampant after a coolant leak
causes a reactor at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island to overheat. The
power plant, just 10 miles from the state capital, is stabilized before
complete meltdown. The accident will swell anti-nuclear sentiment in the
public.

The accident began with failures in the non-nuclear secondary system
followed by a stuck-open pilot-operated relief valve (PORV) in the
primary system that allowed large amounts of nuclear reactor coolant to
escape. The mechanical failures were compounded by the initial failure
of plant operators to recognize the situation as a loss-of-coolant
accident (LOCA). TMI training and procedures left operators and
management ill-prepared for the deteriorating situation. During the
event, these inadequacies were compounded by design flaws, including
inconveniently arranged instruments and controls, the use of multiple
similar alarms, and a failure of the equipment to clearly indicate
coolant inventory level or the position of the stuck-open PORV

      Title: Atomic Buffalo Turds
 Categories: Five, Appetisers, Chilies, Cheese
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
      6 lg Fresh jalapenos
     12 sl Streaky bacon
           Chipotle honey
     12 sl Brie
           BBQ dry rub
 
  Cut the chilies in half lengthways
  
  Remove the seeds and placenta from each chile.
  
  Spoon about half a tsp to 1 tsp of chipotle honey into
  each half chile.
  
  Top each one with a slice of brie and wrap w/bacon. If
  needed use a cocktail stick to hold together.
  
  Sprinkle each ABT with some dry rub and place in the
  fridge until ready to cook.
  
  Set your grill up for indirect cooking, aiming for a
  temperature of between 250ºF/121ºC and 300ºF/150ºC.
  
  If you’re running nearer 300ºF/150ºC, cook for one
  hour then check; nearer 250ºF/121ºC and you’ll be
  looking at about two hours. What you’re trying to get
  here is the bacon starting to crisp up before you glaze.
  
  For the glaze mix 3tb chipotle honey and 1 tb water
  in a pan and warm it up gently.
  
  Apply glaze to ABT’s and cook for a further 15 - 30
  minutes depending on your BBQ temperature.
  
  Remove from grill and serve immediately.
