The Three Mile Island Disaster: An Organizational Communication Study

On March 28, 1979, the accident at San Francisco Island Nuclear Power Plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania was the most serious accident in the history of commercial nuclear power plants in the United States. It does not cause death or injury to factory workers or members of the neighboring community, but comprehensive, including emergency response plans, reactor operator training, human factor engineering, radiation protection, and many other nuclear planning operations It brings about change.

After the earthquake at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in early this year, Pennsylvania Governor Dick Sørenberg is a speech to the team working on the disaster of the power plant, and public decisions and local governments It is said that it is necessary. Thornburgh continues to say that this decision should not be determined by experts. Thornburgh criticized the federal authorities and the spokesperson as running a nuclear power plant in Sunry Island and added that he was not confident of the information provided by either party during the Three Mile Island crisis.

Chernobyl is not the only nuclear power plant suffered a disaster. Sanari Island's disaster occurred in the USA, but it was very small compared to the Chernobyl accident. At Santa island nuclear reactor only released 2 radiation into the atmosphere, it influenced a narrow range of livestock and plants around the plant. Curie is a method of measuring radiation. The Chernobyl accident freed the atmosphere of millions of dollars. It released three times the radiation dose of Sanli Island.

After the disaster, the international community was shocked. There was a nuclear accident including Windscale in 1957, SL-1 in 1961, Sanli island in 1979, but this is the first time that such a wide area was affected. A total of approximately 62,550 square miles in Europe are contaminated with radioactive cesium. Diffusion of nuclear energy before the Chernobyl accident - although related to increasing environmental movement, mainly - this accident caused public opinion on technology. In Rome, nearly 200,000 marched to protest the government's reactor construction plan. This public pressure forced many countries to review their country's nuclear plans - slow down and in some cases stop building new reactors
