TMI

Funny you should mention Three Mile Island. I was a 19 year old college student when TMI went afoul. But I was also a 12 year old High School Kid when we took the really cool field trip to the Three Mile Island "Park" and tourist center. Somewhere in my boxes of stuff are pictures of little elementary school me with the cooling towers in the background.

On the otherhand, I am still not too keen on nuclear power, with TMI being one. That reactor that broke in 1979? Unit Two is permanently unusable and is under legal observation until 2034. All the radioactive material is long gone (mostly shipped off-site) and unit one still operates, providing power to central PA.
