Here we have a nice 3D model of an infamous location: Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA. This was the site in 1979 of a partial core meltdown which did not result in any identifiable injuries or the need for evacuation. See details at Wikipedia. The Three Mile Island
model was created by Joe Wade and posted at the Google Earth Community. When you first open the model, he has one of the cores exposed in a cut-away view so you can see he has modeled the core interior. You can click on “Core_half” to return the missing half. If you turn off the 3D models you can also see the plant in the satellite photo provided by Google Earth. Nice work Joe!
