Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station
Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station
(
TMI
) is a
nuclear power plant
located on Three Mile Island in the
Susquehanna River
, south of
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
in
Londonderry Township
. It has two separate units, TMI-1 and TMI-2. The plant is widely known for having been the site of the
most significant accident in United States commercial nuclear energy
, on 28 March 1979, when TMI-2 suffered a partial
meltdown
. According to the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
, the accident resulted in no deaths or injuries to plant workers or members of nearby communities. Follow-up
epidemiology
studies have also not linked any incidents of cancer with the accident. The
reactor core
of TMI-2 has since been removed from the site, but the site has not been decommissioned.
