How did the 3 mile island accident effect the enviorment?

In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear facility in Pennsylvania was damaged. One of the reactors was totally destroyed and another one was significantly damaged. Luckily, no one was killed and there were no adverse health problems found due to the accident. Ultimately, the training was improved for workers at the facility, making it much safer; however, Americans lost a lot of faith in nuclear energy. This resulted in fewer new nuclear plants being built over the following two decades.
