Unit 1 is operating (see link below). Unit 2 is permanently shutdown, in a safe state with the fuel removed, and will be decommissioned when Unit 1 is eventually permanently shutdown

How serious was the three mile island accident?
This was a serious wake up call to the nuclear industry, and it had the effect of stopping any new build starts in the US up to now. It was a great financial loss to the owners. In terms of effect on local population, although a great worry at the time, this seems to have been very little if anything in the longer run. I think I read that the total release of radiation was equal to a chest X-ray,
Why should society continue to use nuclear energy?
Because we need to. We need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and stop producing greenhouse gases. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, say about 50 years, the only viable source of energy in the large scale is nuclear. None of the alternative sources are truly ready for large scale continuous operation. It is true that nuclear power carries risk, but so does fossil power. In fact, it can be argued that the risk of fossil power is greater, in total, than the risk of nuclear power. Unfortunately, various incidents such as Fukushima Daiichi, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island have been highlighted way out of proportion and people are unnecessarily afraid.

What are three good insulators of heat?
Three good insulators of heat are, maybe plastic, wood and glass! That's all I can think of right now but plastic and wood are very good insulators (etc. used of saucepan handles)
Can distance be negative in physics?
No. Distance is never negative, and total distance travelled doesn't decrease during a trip. The distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A. Displacement, on the other hand, can be negative, and can decrease during a trip. The displacement from A to B is the same magnitude, but opposite sign, as the displacement from B to A. An example would be if you went from your home to a friend's house 1 mile to the east. After you reach your friend's house, you have travelled a distance of 1 mile and your displacement from your starting position is 1 mile. When you come back home from your friends house, you travel a distance of 1 more mile. Your total distance travelled is now 2 miles, but your displacement from your starting location is zero (because you are back where you started.) Distance does not have direction, and is always positive (or zero). Displacement has direction, and can be negative, positive, or zero.
What is happening in Season 4 of the TV show Lost?
The main plotline is them trying to get off the island, or deciding whether or not to get off the island. As you know, each episode has a "flashback" but here we have a "flashforward." After the "whoosh!" sound, we are taken to three years in the future, and only six people manage to get off the island, but now they're trying to get back to the island.So we have the main plot, them trying to get off the island, and then we have the flashforward, where they are three years in the future trying to get back to the island. Irony!
