Fact Check re: Nuclear Energy

In the Thin Ice episode, Blake makes a statement in conversation with Kat that (paraphrasing), 'zero Americans have died in commercial nuclear power accidents since World War II'. This may well NOT be true, as Dr. Steven Goldenberg of Penn State University Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania, published a study in 2017 documenting that DNA from thyroid cancer patients who lived in area surrounding Three Mile Island showed DNA markers that were distinct from DNA of thyroid cancer patients who did not live in area of TMI. An increased number of thyroid cancer patients were diagnosed & died in the area subsequent to the TMI accident.
