Concern persists as former Three Mile Island nuclear plant progresses toward 2027 restart

The former Three Mile Island nuclear plant, now rebranded as the Crane Clean Energy Center, is progressing toward a 2027 restart after meeting relicensing milestones. Constellation Energy, the plant's owner, plans to invest $1.6 billion to restart the reactor, which will supply 835 megawatts of electricity and create 600 permanent jobs. Federal agencies including the NRC and FEMA are reviewing emergency preparedness plans to address lingering public concerns linked to the 1979 partial meltdown.
