Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, The Three Mile Island incident was indeed a reactor meltdown of Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station's reactor number 2 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, around Harrisburg, including eventual radioactive leakage on 28 March 1979. It's been the most important incident in the history of U.S. commercial nuclear power plants.
