Controversy growing as Three Mile Island revival talks gain traction
Aug 12, 2024
Discussions of possibly reopening the Three Mile Island nuclear generators are ramping up, with some government power players showing their excitement, while others their nervousness.
It has been 45 years since Three Mile Island became ground zero of the worst nuclear disaster in United States history in 1979. One reactor closed shortly after, and then in 2019, the other reactor was shuttered due to its inability to compete economically with natural gas.
