The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, which caused the worst core meltdown accident in American history, is to be closed due to deteriorating profitability.

On November 30, the nuclear power giant Exelon announced that it will put the No. 1 nuclear power plant of Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station into a decommissioning furnace at the end of September 2019. Struggling in the electric power market continued as the price of shale gas decreased and profitability deteriorated. Regarding Unit 1, we have been asking the government for preferential treatment as a power source that does not emit greenhouse gases like sunlight or wind power, but we have not received support. The second unit that caused a core meltdown accident in 1979 has already been decommissioned, and the Three Mile Island nuclear plant will be shut down in two more years.

Three mile island nuclear generating facility to be retired early in 2019

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 68%.


> Absent policy reforms, the loss of Pennsylvania nuclear plants would increase air pollution, compromise the resiliency of the electric grid, raise energy prices for consumers, eliminate thousands of good-paying local jobs and weaken the state's economy.

> Despite producing 93 percent of the Commonwealth's emissions-free electricity and avoiding 37 million tons of carbon emissions - the equivalent of keeping 10 million cars off the road every year - nuclear power is not included in the state's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard.

> 16 clean power sources including solar, wind and hydro energy are supported by this state energy policy.

> Amending the AEPS is one of many potential solutions to preserve Pennsylvania's nuclear plants.

> Exelon is committed to working with its stakeholders to find the best solution for Pennsylvania - one that will maintain nuclear energy's $2 billion annual contribution to the state's economy and its approximately 16,000 direct and indirect Pennsylvania jobs.

> The station provides more than $1 million in state property taxes and more than $300,000 in local community giving each year.

Chalk River and Three mile Island were both Level 5 accidents on the International Nuclear Event Scale !

Did the Three Mile Island accident affect nuclear construction elsewhere worldwide?

While it did stop a lot of nuclear projects in the US, such as the Cherokee plant or the Satsop plant, did it make an impact elsewhere? Mass construction still carried on in France, the USSR and it's satellite states, Japan, Sweden, Germany, etc... So in the end, did it change nuclear's reputation outside of the United States?
