Three Mile Island | CounterSpill The three mile island disaster. The three mile island unit 2 reactor, near middletown, pa., partially melted down on march 28, 1979. this was the most serious accident in u.s. commercial nuclear power plant operating history, although its small radioactive releases had no detectable health effects on plant workers or the public.

Three Mile Island | CounterSpill The three mile island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown of the unit 2 reactor (tmi 2) of the three mile island nuclear generating station, located on the susquehanna river in londonderry township, dauphin county near harrisburg, pennsylvania. To reduce the pressure, the valve on the pressurizer, called the pilot operated relief valve (porv), opened. up to this time, everything operated as designed. when the pressure in the pressurizer dropped to a prescribed value, the porv was suppose to close; it did not. the accident was now underway. In 1979 a cooling malfunction caused part of the core to melt at three mile island 2. the reactor was destroyed. some radioactive gas was released a couple of days after the accident, but not enough to cause any dose above background levels. On march 28th, 1979, the world witnessed one of the most significant nuclear accidents in history—the partial meltdown at the three mile island (tmi) nuclear power plant near harrisburg, pennsylvania.

Three mile island still functions, but has changed to symptom based operating systems from system based operating systems in response to the accident. locals still remain cautious long after the accident, stocking potassium iodine, keeping updated evacuation routes, and other preparations. Three mile island accident in the early morning hours of march 28, 1979, a mechanical or electric failure set off an unlikely series of events that led to a partial meltdown at the unit 2. A postaccident increase in cancer rates near the three mile island plant was notable in 1982, persisted for another year, and then declined. radiation emissions, as modeled mathematically, did not account for the observed increase. Community members raised safety concerns about plans to restart three mile island at a federal hearing, questioning evacuation plans and regulatory oversight.
