What consequences resulted from the incident at Three Mile Island and the one at Chernobyl?
First of all, the accident at Chernobyl was many many many times worse than Three Mile Island. At Chernobyl the reactor was blown apart by a steam pressure surge, so that a lot of very active material was ejected from the reactor, air ingress caused the graphite to burn, and much of the fuel melted. As there was no secondary containment, radioactive material from the fuel spread all over the site and its surroundings. This is just about the worst thing that can happen to a reactor. I think 47 total died quickly, all operators or fire and rescue people, from radiation sickness. There were also 7 child thyroid cancer deaths. As far as the long term effects are concerned, I believe they were exaggerated in early predictions, but of course development of cancers can take many years, so the true consequences won't be known for some years yet, and one must be careful to separate extra cancers from what would occur in any large population, in assessing this. At Three Mile Island there was a partial meltdown due to loss of coolant, and some activity was released, but much less than at Chernobyl. Assessment of health effects showed no effects on the local population. The reactor of course was a complete write off and a dead loss to the owners. See links given below

In what ways did the incident at Three Mile Island differ from that at Chernobyl?
The Three Mile Island incident in 1979 was a partial meltdown resulting from equipment malfunctions and operator errors, with no immediate fatalities and limited off-site impact. In contrast, the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was a full-scale meltdown caused by a flawed reactor design and operator errors, resulting in immediate deaths, widespread radioactive contamination, and long-term health and environmental consequences.
The nuclear accident at Chernobyl was than the accident at Three Mile Island.?
The nuclear accident at Chernobyl was more severe and resulted in widespread radioactive contamination and long-term health effects, whereas the accident at Three Mile Island resulted in a partial core meltdown that was contained within the reactor. Additionally, the Chernobyl disaster led to multiple immediate fatalities and a significant evacuation of nearby residents.
When did Ganghwa Island incident happen?
The Ganghwa Island incident occurred in 1871 when a U.S. expedition landed on the island in Korea to establish diplomatic relations. The incident resulted in heavy casualties for both sides and ultimately led to the negotiation of the first Korea-U.S. Treaty which favored the U.S. perspective.

What does chernobyl and 3 mile islands have in common?
Both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island are well-known nuclear disasters that caused widespread environmental and health impacts. Both incidents resulted in the release of radioactive materials into the environment and raised concerns about nuclear safety and regulation. Additionally, they both led to significant changes in the nuclear industry and a reassessment of nuclear power plants' safety measures.
