Three Mile Island

Island in the Susquehana River near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It is the site of a nuclear power station which was put out of action following a serious accident in March 1979. Opposition to nuclear power in the USA was reinforced after this accident and safety standards reassessed. Only part of the plant was affected and the other reactor re-opened in 1985. The clean-up took 12 years and coat nearly $1 billion.
