Relive the harrowing day of March 27, 1979, when America teetered on the brink of the worst nuclear disaster in history. Set against the backdrop of a prolonged economic recession, a crippling energy crisis, and America's growing reliance on an abundant, relatively cheap, though potentially dangerous source of energy--nuclear power--the story of the partial meltdown that occurred at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is told in gripping narrative fashion.
