Three Mile Island, which suffered a partial meltdown in 1979, may become the first American nuclear plant to be reopened as people warm to the idea of expanding the country’s use of nuclear energy.

Reuters reports that talks around the potential reopening are “beyond preliminary,” suggesting that the site, which operated from 1974 until it closed in 2019 because it couldn’t compete with subsidized natural gas prices, could act as a bellwether for other plants that were also forced to shut down.
