    Threee mile island was only a partial meltdown, and very little fission product was ever released to the environment. Nowhere near as blatant and drastic of a failure as what happened in Chernobyl.

      True, however it was embarrassing to the atomic lobby. It was very similar in his a little lack of oversight caused a huge crisis.

      The scale of the repercussions was very different, yes and that was emphasized to put the three mile incident in a better light.
