US nuclear plant Three Mile Island to reopen, sell power to Microsoft

NEW YORK, United States — US nuclear plant Three Mile Island, the site of the worst nuclear accident in American history, is to restart operations in a deal to sell power to Microsoft, Constellation Energy said Friday.

The firm announced the 20-year deal would involve the restart of the Unit 1 reactor, 'which operated at industry-leading levels of safety and reliability for decades before being shut down for economic reasons exactly five years ago today.'
