The closure of these valves was a violation of a key NRC rule, according to which the reactor must be shut down if all auxiliary feed pumps are closed for maintenance.

He further wrote: " We didn't learn for years — until the reactor vessel was physically opened — that by the time the plant operator called the NRC at about 8 am, roughly ½ of the uranium fuel had already melted.

In 2009, the NRC granted a license extension which means the TMI-1 reactor may operate until April 19, 2034.
