In this “Sunday Morning” report that originally aired March 30, 1980, correspondent Richard Wagner talked with nearby residents about the uncertainty, anxiety, anger and sense of loss they experienced in their lives following the accident, as well as distrust with the government and utility officials over the future of the plant.
