Who is Nicole Remsburg?

Nicole Remsburg was about 6-years-old when the incident happened in 1979. The nuclear plant was right across the water from her childhood home, and on that day, she remembered hearing a loud noise, the kind of which she had never heard before. At that young age, Nicole couldn’t make any sense of it and eventually went to school. But soon after that, her family was one of many to leave Middletown amidst confusion and conflicting information.

At the time, Nicole had little understanding of what was happening and why they went to her grandmother’s house in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Once the disaster seemed to have been averted, Nicole and her family moved back to Middletown. There were plans to start the clean-up job at the reactor by the following year. As per the show, a few years later Nicole’s mother, Betty, began dating Rick Parks, who would go on to play an influential role in bringing to light a lot of information.

Nicole mentioned on the show that she grew close to Rick right away, and he made them the family unit she always wanted. But while Rick began working at the plant, he noticed a lot of safety issues with how the clean-up was happening. Rick decided to go public with the information when he felt that his concerns weren’t given due attention. As per Nicole, this led to friction between Rick and Betty, and the couple ended the relationship, leading to Nicole and her mother staying at Harrisburg for a while for their safety.

Today, it seems that Nicole still lives in Middletown and now has a son.
