CBS: Three Mile Island shut down on Thursday around 2:20 p.m., with residents hearing a loud boom.

CBS (Update): Guy Magaro was mowing the lawn when he heard it. “All of a sudden you hear a big boom,” Magaro explained. “Steam vented out and then it goes into shutdown.” [...] It reminded Guy of the 1979 TMI accident, only this one didn’t force any evacuations, there was no public health risk and this time things got a bit noisy.” Just a big, loud roar for a few minutes,” Magaro told us.
