The late March 1979 incident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant prompted the evacuation of nearly 145,000 residents from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, due to fears of radiation from a partial meltdown. While a catastrophic explosion was averted, the event profoundly impacted public perception of nuclear energy, marking a significant turning point in America's relationship with nuclear power and leaving lasting psychological scars on those affected.
