CAMP HILL, Pa. — For residents near Three Mile Island, a nuclear power plant along the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania, images of workers at the Fukushima No. 1 facility trigger reminders of their own traumatic experiences in 1979.
"I look at the people in Japan and it's heartbreaking to me," Paula Kinney, 63, said during a recent interview at her home in central Pennsylvania.
"I speak for so many people . . . we're praying for them," she said while trying to hold back tears.
