I wasn't on it when it burped... I spent those days 15-20 miles away, in stone/brick structures, watching the news for more information.
I WAS on it a few years after the accident, making a delivery to their engineering/drafting department. I was a kid making deliveries for a summer job, driving a car that was not my own or my parent's and was not marked as a delivery vehicle in any way, permitted to make a delivery on the island with no ID, given a visitor's pass that allowed me to drive on and roam around until I found the right building to make the delivery. Well I did have to sign in.
That was about 1983 I think, with the second reactor back on line. I expect they have tougher restrictions to get on the facility today.
