> Three Mile island was very close to being a major disaster
No, it wasn't. In fact, the plant operators made just about every possible mistake they could have made--and still no harm to the general public. TMI was actually an illustration of how good design of safety systems can protect the general public even when reactor operators make multiple bonehead mistakes. Unfortunately the media narrative, as in so many other cases, drastically misrepresented what actually happened.
> and upon further review had more radiation escape than was initially disclosed.
Yes, but still zero harm to the general public.
> many of them seem to be various components of the system exploding for various reasons, which could have led to horrible outcomes but luckily did not
I do not see any incidents with commercial power reactors that fit this description.
