Details

This page is about the details of the nuclear plant as a nuclear plant, and does not address the accident. The Three Mile Island article deals almost exclusively with the accident, and not at all with the plant. Thus, a redirect is not appropriate. Miros 19:56, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Okay, but it needed a better name than "Three Mile Island Nuclear". I gave it the full name provided by the other page and linked to it from there. --Fastfission 23:00, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

good deal. Miros 20:03, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It does not make sense for this article to be separate from the Three Mile Island Accident article. 100% of the users looking for information on the power plant will want information on the accident also.

Clash reference?

I'm not sure you can claim that the line "a nuclear error" is attributed to this particular event... There have been many more (or is there some evidence for this?).jackkenyon1991 20:40, 10 April 2008 (GMT)

Inconsistent

The undamaged reactor was shut down some time ago, as the article says, but the sidebar lists it as still operational. Andrewa (talk) 10:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Operational may be accurate; see SAFSTOR: it is not currently operating, but may be restarted. ---Avatar317 ^(talk) 00:39, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Constellation and Microsoft have announced plans to restart unit 1 by 2028[1]. I wonder how that relates to the statement from 2017 that "once the plant is completely shut down, it cannot be reopened". 37.201.7.108 (talk) 13:36, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to clean this up the best I can. SlaterRaptor1976 (talk) 14:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
