Three Mile Island explains the far-reaching consequences of the
partial meltdown of Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island power plant on
March 28, 1979. Though the disaster was ultimately contained, the
fears it triggered had an immediate and lasting impact on public
attitudes towards nuclear energy in the United States. In this
volume, Grace Halden contextualizes the events at Three Mile Island
and the ensuing media coverage, offering a gripping portrait of a
nation coming to terms with technological advances that inspired
both awe and terror. Including a selection of key primary
documents, this book offers a fascinating resource for students of
the history of science, technology, the environment, and Cold War
culture.
