Stop Nuclear Power - 1979 - Vintage Pin

Vintage 1979 Stop Nuclear Power "Remember 3 Mile Island" pin. This pin commemorates the Three Mile Island nuclear accident of March 28, 1979, one of the most significant nuclear incidents in U.S. history. Located near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the partial meltdown at Unit 2 released radioactive gases and sparked widespread public concern about nuclear safety. The accident killed no one but became a turning point in American energy policy, leading to stricter regulations and a nationwide movement against nuclear power expansion. Pins like this were worn by activists and concerned citizens during the intense public debate that followed, making them important artifacts of 1970s environmental activism and social history.
