Report of the President's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island by President's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island.At 4:00 a.m. on March 28, 1979, a serious accident occurred at the Three Mile Island 2 nuclear power plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania. The accident was initiated by mechanical malfunctions in the plant and made much worse by a combination of human errors in responding to it. During the next 4 days, the extent and gravity of the accident was unclear to the managers of the plant, to federal and state officials, and to the general public. What is quite clear is that its impact, nationally and internationally, has raised serious concerns about the safety of nuclear power. This Commission was established in response to those concerns.Featured on The Machine Stops.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
