" while Film Threat "encouraged every American to watch this wonderful and engrossing documentary. Radioactive: The Women of Three Mile Island is a powerful piece, and its story needs to be told." Another review, although conceding that "From a strictly cinematographic point of view, Radioactive: The Women of Three Mile Island is a fairly conventional documentary. It boasts no whizbang special effects or interactive experiences, just the tried-and-true formula of archival footage woven with original, cinema-verité camerawork.", concluded "This is a film that should be rated in supernovas, not stars."
