Neither were nuclear explosions. In fact if you would take the time to
check three Mile Island was a leak.


Some people are nit-pickin' here.

The original comment sorta implied a nuke explosion, like a bomb.
That's simply not the case and can't happen in a nuclear power plant, for
a number of reasons.

But, indeed, there may have been steam containment explosions or piping
as the system ran away with it's self.

It is hard to keep up with who is whom? But are you the one referred to
as "**** for Brains"? I also read it as a nuclear explosion, so I might
be **** for Brains II.

I am sure many have called me **** for brains in the past and will in the
future. Regardless, there was no nuclear explosion at either referenced
power plant.

The fuel used in nuclear power plants is not anywhere near pure enough to go
Ka-boom and even if it were, there is no method to cause it it happen. You
could set off a "real" nuke bomb within the reactor area and the power
plant's fuel rods would not explode as a "nuclear" reaction.

They were steam explosions that damaged the confinement systems and then
released radiation.
