On March 28, 1979, and for several days thereafter — as a result of technical malfunctions and human error — Three Mile Island’s Unit 2 Nuclear Generating Station was the scene of the nation’s worst commercial nuclear accident. Radiation was released, a part of the nuclear core was damaged, and thousands of residents evacuated the area. Events here would cause basic changes throughout the world’s nuclear power industry.

    Yep. The fact that Microsoft is now paying to bring reactor No. 1 back online gives me hope that the PR damage is healing, 46 years after the incident.
