Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.
Um… you realize that nuclear doesn’t give of any pollutants?
It does emit heat. If using a flowing water source like a river for cooling, it does raise the temperature of the water a measurable amount, which must be accounted for in an environmental impact analysis.
But that’s still leagues better than burning fossil fuels.
Agree
Three mile island certainly gave off pollution. Scientists are studying if people downwind of it ended up getting thyroid cancer as a result.
