Three Mile Island Unit 2

Three Mile Island Unit 2 was a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania that experienced a significant accident on March 28, 1979. This incident resulted from a combination of mechanical failures and human errors, leading to a partial meltdown of the reactor core. Although there was no immediate release of radiation that harmed the public, it raised widespread concerns about nuclear safety and led to changes in regulations and operating procedures for nuclear facilities. The event remains a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear energy in the United States, influencing public perception and policy for years to come.
