Applicability of health physics lessons learned from the Three Mile Island Unit 2 accident to the Fukushima Daiichi accident

The TMI-2 and Fukushima Daiichi accidents appear to be dissimilar because they involve different reactor types. However, the health physics related lessons learned from TMI-2 are applicable, and can enhance the Fukushima Daiichi recovery effort.

► TMI-2 health physics lessons learned are applicable to Fukushima Daiichi Accident.
► Fuel damage sequence of these accidents are similar.
► On-site recovery actions will be similar, but Fukushima Daiichi is more demanding.
► Offsite recovery actions are significantly more challenging at Fukushima Daiichi.
