Three Mile Island Accident Data consists of mostly upper air and wind observations immediately following the nuclear meltdown occurring on March 28, 1979, near Middletown, PA. Data are only available for a short period of time immediately following the incident.
This data was collected with the intention of understanding where meltdown particulates were going, how the meltdown affected atmospheric conditions, as well as many other applications.
