Three mile island did not have a meltdown, ffs. Not even close.

"The Three Mile Island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown"

You are technically correct, and that is the best kind of correct. I spoke from frustration, having grown up there. What i should have said was that there was no danger to the public, it was fully contained behind multiple redundant safety containments. Its frustrating because i feel like that incident stalled nuclear energy in this country since then.

I wouldn't say no danger, but the danger was averted. It did even release radioactive material, but not enough to be dangerous.

It could have gone much worse, but it didn't.
