what was name of 1978 leaky nuclear reactor?

Answer 1

Nope Three Mile Island II accident was in March of 1979. I know, I was part of the recovery team. OK, quoting from myself here:

1978 (Jan 4) Waste storage tanks at West Valley, NY fuel reprocessing plant are discovered leaking.

1978 (Jan 24) Nuclear powered Soviet satellite, Cosmos 954, crashes in Canada contaminating 600 mile long area; less than 1% of radioactive material recovered.

1978 (Mar 7) Goodyear Atomic Plant, Piketon, OH, 46 persons are involved in and exposed to a uranium hexafluoride spill.

1978 (April 8) Technicians A & B receive 25 & 27 rem at Trojan Nuclear Power Plant; highest commercial power whole body doses. RP techs stand next to fuel transfer tube, believing it to be a ventilation system, as activated fuel passes through tube.

1978 (May 5) Algeria, 8 persons are exposed to an Ir-192 radiography source, death of one and spontaneous abortion of fetus, severe burns on two survivors.

1978 (July 17) Monroe X-ray Co. W. Monroe, LA, 1 person is accidentally exposed to an Ir-192 radiation device.

1978 (Sept 5) Oak Ridge National Lab, TN Accident at X-10 facility, 4 persons inhaled Am-241 and Pu-241.

1978 (Dec) Three Mile Island 2, a PWR, goes on-line at Londonderry Twp, PA; closed Mar 1979.

1978 Beloyarsk 2 (USSR) destroyed by fire; eight persons over-irradiated organizing cooling flow to reactor.

That is from my _Brief Chronology of Radiation and Protection_. So TMI 2 went online in Dec. 1978 and did not have the meltdown until March 1979. I wonder if you were talking about another leak listed above?
