Im AKW Three Mile Island versagt eine Kühlpumpe in Block 2. Die eingeschalteten Notpumpen führen wegen eines defekten Ventils kaum Wasser zum Kern. Die Hälfte des 150 t schweren Reaktorkerns schmilzt. Große Mengen radioaktiven Wassers treten aus. (Quelle: Greenpeace)

A failed valve in the cooling pump for Block 2 of the nuclear power plant at Three Mile Island means that almost no water reaches the core. Half of the 150 t reactor core melts, and large quantities of radioactive water are released (source: Greenpeace).
