Editor's Note: Denver Channel 7 news reports that this accident was caused by "pipe cutting". It's interesting the corporate media has rushed to defend the Nuclear Energy industry, describing the accident as, "small", "confined", "a minor incident", "under control", "not significant" and "no cause for panic". Many remember the 3 Mile Island meltdown that was also reported in similar terms of "damage control" only to be revealed subsequently as a major disaster.

San Francisco, (Nov 22, 2009) A large radiation leak in a Three Mile Island Reactor (TMI) has triggered a standard news blackout of TMI Reactor area and associated radiation leak events.
The TMI Reactors are near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and about 155 miles from New York City.
The TMI information released thus far is that it is a radioactive leak of an unknown orgin of an unknown "isotope" associated with the reactor. It is unknown if anyone died as a result of the ongoing radioactive leak.
About 200 people were immediately evacuated from the reactor building. At least 25 people are thought to have been treated for unknown reasons.
There are more than 600 deadly isotopes in the reactor. The reactor building was shut down. The reactor normally routinely vents lethal isotopes "to the air" as a matter of doing business.
Many people were killed by a reactor explosion at TMI in 1979.
