THREE MILE ISLAND

Episode 192 | Historical EventsIn this History episode we focus on the Three Mile Island accident of March 1979 — the partial meltdown caused by a stuck valve, a false instrument reading, and operators who shut off the emergency cooling system because they thought the reactor was adequately cooled, the communication crisis that followed, and why no new nuclear power plant has broken ground in the United States in the 46 years since.No deaths. No measurable health effects. And no new nuclear power plant has broken ground in the United States since the morning it happened.#HistoryMystery #ThreeMileIsland #Nuclear #History #DisasterThis podcast features narration with a synthetic AI voice.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-mystery/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
