> Three Mile Island was a success in the sense that even the worst case scenario

No, as it involved a partial meltdown, not a complete meltdown.



It's a success. The redundant systems of 3mi meant that the 10 miles around it received the effect of a chest x-ray.

A nuclear accident with far more devastating consequences is possible.

The debate isn't about "nuclear or coal?" but about "nuclear or renewables?"
