A new breed of nuclear reactors some consider much safer than the current breed and free from the possibility of a meltdown has been developed. However, although they have been built elsewhere, they probably will not become part of the United States nuclear power industry.
 
The following is a list of the major events that have occurred in the nuclear industry beginning with the Three Mile Island accident on March 28, 1979:
