Three Mile Island Blast (1979)

The Three Mile Island Unit 2 reactor, near Middletown, Pa., partially melted down on March 28, 1979. This was the most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history.

What should be done to avoid such incidents in the future:

Have a third party professional electrical installation safety testing and inspection service done for your establishment. Include Electrical Safety Audit and EICR Certification to evaluate electrical wiring, connections, and systems for potential electrical hazards, design, and structural flaws.

Provide comprehensive safety training to all operators and electricians.

Practise workplace’s safety culture and develop strategies to increase their safety levels

Every time an Electrical Contractor completes a new electrical installation, extension, or modification to an existing installation he/she is obliged to test and certify that the installation complies with current standards.
