Nuclear power plants (Three Miles Island Chernobyl)

Question

uhhh i have looked everywhere for this def. and i cant find it can someone please help me

Answer 1

Taken directly out from my research paper...

"Support on nuclear energy swayed following two previous nuclear incidents at nuclear plants in 1979 at Three Mile Island, United States and in 1986 at Chernobyl."

I completely doubt that you could not find any information regarding the two biggest nuclear plant incidents in history.  They are always used when the argument comes out that nuclear plants are not safe, though they clearly are.

Wikipedia actually has a pretty good description of both accidents.

Three Mile Island, Penn., USA (disaster):

Chernobyl, Ukraine (formerly the USSR)(disaster):

[Answer: see above]

Answer 2

TMI is in Pennsylvania.  Chernobyl is in the Ukrane.  Not sure what your question is, but both had major problems.  

Answer 3

I hope these are helpful - The sites are well done and contain a lot of information.

Three Mile Island is in the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, U.S.  It's actually three miles downriver from Middletown so they called it three mile island.
