Summary edit

Description
English: Color photograph of the Three Mile Island nuclear generating station, which suffered a partial meltdown in 1979. The reactors are in the smaller domes with rounded tops (the large smokestacks are just cooling towers).
Français : Photographie en couleurs de la centrale nucléaire de Three Mile Island, aux états-Unis, qui a subi une fusion partielle d'un de ses réacteurs, en 1979. Les réacteurs sont dans les dômes en béton. Les grandes cheminées ne sont que de tours de refroidissement.
