No, the Three Mile Island nuclear plant is not currently operational. The plant, located in Pennsylvania, was permanently shut down in 2019 after decades of operation, primarily due to economic challenges and the impact of the 1979 accident, which was the most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history. The site is now in the process of decommissioning.
In 1986 Chernobyl a nuclear facility was the site of a major nuclear accident in what country?
The Chernobyl nuclear accident occurred in 1986 in Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union. It was the result of a reactor explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the town of Pripyat. The disaster released large quantities of radioactive particles into the atmosphere, leading to widespread contamination and long-term health and environmental impacts.
How long does it take to recover from nuclear accident?
Obviously depends on the severity of the accident. In the case of Three Mile Island (1979) there was no reason not to go on running the other unit on site, though the damaged one will never be restarted. In the case of Chernobyl (1986) the damage was so great that the whole site was shutdown, four reactors, and surrounding areas evacuated. This is a permanent result as far as I know.
