(Harrisburg, PA) — The site of the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history will be roaring back to life soon.
The last working nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania will soon start generating power for Microsoft under a 20-year agreement. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro toured the reactor on Wednesday, saying the move will create jobs in the state by bolstering energy production.
In 1979, a partial meltdown of the Unit 2 reactor core caused national panic. Three Mile Island has been renamed the Crane power plant.
