On March 28, 1979, one of the worst accidents in the history
of the U.S. nuclear power industry began when a pressure

Cooling water, contaminated with radiation, drained from the
open valve into adjoining buildings, and the core began to
dangerously overheat.

hut down during the crisis, did not resume operation until 1985.

Cleanup continued on Unit-2 until 1990, but it was too damaged
to be rendered usable again.
