In the United States, there have been three significant nuclear meltdowns: the Three Mile Island accident in 1979, which was the most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history; the partial meltdown at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant in 1989; and the more recent incident at the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station in 2011, which did not result in a full meltdown but raised safety concerns. While there have been other incidents, these are the primary events classified as meltdowns in the U.S.
