3 Mile island was not a huge deal. The core did melt down and collapse at the bottom of the containment unit and some minor venting did occur. The core fizzled in the water at bottom of containment unit and became a solid lump. That reactor is shut down yes. However nobody died, cancer rates around the plant are lower than in surrounding counties and the second reactor ( they had two) has been operateing since then and is still active today.

Mostly it was over reaction due to the incident takeing place at same time as that stupid China Syndrome movie.
