This was the Three Mile Island Accident on March 28, 1986 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

The first partial meltdown in a US nuclear power plant happened at the EBR-I facility in Idaho on November 29, 1955. It was repaired and continued to operate for some years after. There was also a partial meltdown at the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station in Detroit, Michigan on October 5, 1966. These were not, however, what most people would call major disasters, as there was no major release of radioactive materials.
