This paper discusses the sequence of events involved in the accident which took place at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant in Pennsylvania, USA in 1979, the worst nuclear disaster in US history. The physical characteristics of the as-built reactor building are described, and the changes brought about by the accident on the plant structure are discussed. The current state of the plant and the materials of the reactor are also discussed.
