Netflix introduced China Syndrome, an intriguing concept film, in its docu-series Meltdown: Three Mile Island, which was eerily coincidental with the nuclear accident that gripped Pennsylvania with fear in 1979.

The Netflix documentary that was released today gives a crisp overview of what went down at Three Mile Island and its repercussions, which affected the public for years to come. Here is everything to know about the documentary and the China Syndrome hinted at in the series.

Meltdown: Three Mile Island is neat documentation of the nuclear accident that gripped the United States with fear and jeopardized the lives of millions of people in and around Pennsylvania. It started with an emergency being declared one fateful morning in 1979 when overheaṭing caused the core of a reactor to melt down, and traces of radioactivity were then released into the atmosphere. The documentary then charts the incident through the years until the resolution.

Amidst rising tension and disdain among the general public over the functioning of the plant and their protests to shut it down as it was proving to be a health hazard, management, driven by a profit motive, continued to work for its reopening even though the situation at the plant was dire and radioactivity was being released in traces.

It was only when a plant worker went public with the information about the faulty structure of the reactor, which caused the accident, that the management's complete disregard for safety in its cleanup method did the whole thing blow up, and government authorities overlooked these projects intervened. Through its four episodes, Meltdown: Three Mile Island has unfolded the events of the Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown and brought to public view the corrupt practices of the nuclear industry.

What is the China Syndrome mentioned in the documentary?

The film, called the China Syndrome was released just weeks before the accidental nuclear meltdown of unit 2 of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Pennsylvania, which seriously affected people living in and around Harrisburg. It is indeed an eerie coincidence that a fictional movie called The China Syndrome, which dealt with the issue of a nuclear accident, should be released so close to an actual accident that took place just weeks after the movie premiered.

The fictional piece followed a similar core meltdown at a fictional power plant in California. Although nuclear experts confirmed that kind of an accident was nearly impossible, Pennsylvania came close to a similar situation. In the movie, the China Syndrome was referred to as a core meltdown that:

“Could render an area the size of the state of Pennsylvania permanently uninhabitable.”

How eerie is it that the same thing happened in Pennsylvania just weeks later?

The China Syndrome - 1979

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Syndrome

The China Syndrome is a 1979 American disaster thriller film directed by James Bridges and written by Bridges, Mike Gray, and T. S. Cook. The film stars Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon, Michael Douglas (who also produced), Scott Brady, James Hampton, Peter Donat, Richard Herd, and Wilford Brimley. It follows a television reporter and her cameraman who discover safety coverups at a nuclear power plant. "China syndrome" is a fanciful term that describes a fictional result of a nuclear meltdown, where reactor components melt through their containment structures and into the underlying earth, "all the way to China".

The China Syndrome premiered at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or while Lemmon received the Best Actor Prize.^[3] It was theatrically released on March 16, 1979, twelve days before the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, which gave the film's subject matter an unexpected prescience. It became a critical and commercial success. Reviewers praised the film's screenplay, direction, and performances (most notably of Fonda and Lemmon), while it grossed $51.7 million on a production budget of $5.9 million. The film received four nominations at the 52nd Academy Awards; Best Actor (for Lemmon), Best Actress (for Fonda), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Production Design.
