The Three Mile Island accident had a profound effect on the nuclear industry , resulting in the cancellation of 100 nuclear plants planned or ordered between 1972 and 1983 . No new plants were licensed in the United States by the NRC from that time until 2012 , and more than 80 anti-nuclear groups were formed in the United States out of fear of nuclear reactors after the Three Mile Island accident
