Abstract

[The core meltdown accident at Three Mile Island in 1979 in the United States was a major challenge to nuclear safety in the scientific community. An accident considered impossible by the specialists had nevertheless occurred, raising fundamental questions such as the understanding of the accident by the operators in the control room, the redundancy of the countermeasures and the efficiency of the equipment under accident conditions. A major plan of measures has been initiated by Western countries with the appearance of probabilistic safety studies and the increased development of defense in depth.]
