The Three Mile Island accident occurred on March 28, 1979, and lasted for about 14 days, until the reactor was brought under control. The cleanup and recovery process continued for several years afterward.
No, not according to an Forbes article that states Chernobyl disaster (level 7 on International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale) was magnitudes worse than the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, which was a level 4 and likely be upgraded to a level 5.
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.
The Long Island Sound was formed by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age, around 18,000 years ago. As the ice melted and receded, it left behind depressions in the land that eventually filled with water, creating the basin that we know today as the Long Island Sound.
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.
A pressure relief valve got stuck open, but the operator console read that it was closed. This resulted in many operator errors and the eventual exposure and meltdown of the upper third or so of the core.

the battle of long island lasted 3 days
Floods can last about three days to a week.
Isle of Man
D.t.f
as long as youwant, it has been proven to last up to three years!!!
Blackberries (the fruit) will last about three months.
Three days the last time I had heard.
There were about 20,000 people who died in the earthquake of Rat Island, Alaska
Jackson Island in "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is described as being approximately 10 miles long.
