Constellation Energy to restart Three Mile Island nuclear plant, sell the power to Microsoft for AI

Constellation described the agreement with Microsoft as the largest power purchase agreement that the nuclear plant operator has ever signed.

Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.

    1. Not poisonous.
    2. Not explodey. Chernobyl destroyed all common sense and support for nuclear power, even though it was mostly terrible terrible management and horrible corrupt (Soviet) government that caused it. Nuclear reactors can’t explode like Chernobyl unless someone purposely flips all the switches to red, does manual overrides aand it was specifically built to ignore all logical safety concerns.

    The number of kille people by coal is orders of magnitude higher over the same period (lets say 60 years) per GW generated.

    Any other arguments?
