三里岛核电站位于美国宾夕法尼亚州哈里斯堡，萨斯奎哈纳河三里岛。1979年3月28日，美国三里岛核电站发生历史上最严重的核泄漏事件，即三里岛核事故。
记者保罗·亚当斯曾前往三里岛核电站并写下以下报道。
Our correspondent Paul Adams has been to the plants and has this report.
美国虽然是世界上最大的核能源生产国，但是自1979年骇人(但非致死)的三里岛核泄漏事故以来，还没有批准任何建造任何一座新核电站。
America is the world's largest producer of nuclear energy, but has not approved a single new plant since a scary (but non-lethal) nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in 1979.
他们还说福岛核电站三个反应堆里的3%的燃料已经遭到严重损坏，这意味着这些反应堆已经部分熔化了。
They also said that 3 per cent of the fuel in three of the reactors at the Fukushima plant had been severely damaged, suggesting those reactor cores have partially melted down.
