It seems to be a popular story.

From: http://www.democracynow.org/2009/3/27/three_mile_island_30th...

"I want to mention that the reactor containment at Three Mile Island was actually thicker than most others, because citizen action, prior to the construction of the plant, demanded a thicker containment, because the Three Mile Island Unit 2 is right in the flight path of the Harrisburg Airport."--Harvey Wasserman

(Of course, nobody was ever planning to build it without a containment... I hope?)
