The correct answer is letter C, the accident at Three-Mile Island. Such incident that occurred on March 28, 1979 change the way how USA constructed and operated power plants the following year. This accident was the most serious accident in USA's commercial nuclear power plants making them change policies and laws about building such massive structures again.
