It was the most serious accident in the history of the American commercial nuclear power generating industry. Though it did not lead to any immediate deaths or injuries, it led to increased safety regulations and a decline in public support for nuclear power.
Can a three mile island accident contaminate a nearby forest?
Any nuclear accident such as 3 Mile Island can contaminate nearby forests. Radioactive strontium is released during nuclear decay, which can be taken up by plants, since it mimics calcium. This can later be ingested by people, making them sick.
What lessons were learned from the Three Mile Island accident?
Three critical lessons were learned from the Three Mile Island accident. First, you should not ignore instinct when the reading of an instrument is inconsistent with what you know. Second, you need instrumentation that will not peg "off-scale high" under any conditions. Third, and most importantly, you need an emergency plan.

What was the three mile island problem?
The Three Mile Island accident in 1979 was a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor in Pennsylvania, USA. The incident was caused by equipment malfunctions and human errors, resulting in a release of radioactive gases. Although it did not cause any immediate fatalities and had a relatively low impact on public health, it raised concerns about nuclear power safety.
What events led to the three mile island explosion?
The Three Mile Island accident in 1979 was caused by a combination of mechanical failures, design issues, and human errors. A stuck valve prevented coolant from cooling the reactor, leading to a partial meltdown and release of radioactive gas. Confusion and miscommunication among the operators also played a role in the escalation of the incident.

The CDC puts out a table with causes of death listed. Gun deaths are not lumped together, but are spread out in different categories. See related links below and look at tables 10 and 11. For example: Accidental discharge of firearms: 642 deaths in 2006 Intentional self-harm(suicide) by discharge of firearms.: 16,883 Assault(homicide)by discharge of firearms.: 12,791 Discharge of firearms, undetermined intent.: 220 If you count all of these and If I didn't miss any categories, there were 30,536 gun-related deaths in 2006.
