Oswego, NY – March 28 marks the 25th anniversary of the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island.

The nuclear energy industry, regulators, and even critics maintain the plants are safer now that they were in 1979, thanks to more stringent safety measures.

But WRVO's Elizabeth Christensen reports that, while the plants may be safer, public information about them is becoming harder and harder to get.
