Local reaction has varied over the plan to reopen Three Mile Island nuclear plant The retired Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania is restarting, in a deal with Microsoft to power its data centers. LEILA FADEL, HOST: After Microsoft agreed to buy electricity from the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, it's planning to reopen - five years after shutting down. The U.S. has never restarted a nuclear power plant like this, but there is growing demand for electricity that doesn't contribute to climate change. FADEL: So listeners may recognize the name of Three Mile Island because it was the site of the most serious nuclear accident in U.S. history, in 1979, but the plant was still generating power until it shut down in 2019.
