Packard Commission

The Packard Commission, officially known as the President's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island, was established in 1979 after a partial meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. It aimed to investigate the incident, assess its causes, and recommend improvements for nuclear safety and regulation. The Commission's findings highlighted flaws in communication, training, and safety protocols, leading to significant reforms in the nuclear industry. Ultimately, it played a crucial role in restoring public confidence in nuclear energy and improving safety standards across the sector.
