The nuclear accident at chernobyl was than the accident at three mile island. a. more devastating b. less devastating c. equally devastating d. less publicized

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986 occurred due to flaw in the reactor design which was being operated by less skilled trained personnel.

During this accident, about 5% of the radioactive reactor core were released into the atmosphere due to steam explosion and fire which resulted in on the spot death of two Chernobyl plant co-workers.

Within a few weeks, 28 people died due to the radiation poisoning.

Whereas the radioactive rays released in the accident at Three Mile Island were small and had no detectable health side effects on the plant co-workers.

Thus, we can conclude that the nuclear accident at Chernobyl was accident was more devastating than the accident at Three Mile Island.
