The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
The cited source explicitly dates this event; the pin records the stated calendar day.
Unit 2 historical pre-accident rating: 880 MWe net, 959 MWe gross. Permanently shut March 28, 1979; no ongoing generation. Calendar-1979 electricity supplied before closure: 1,318.10 GWh.[1]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
A relief valve remained open while instrumentation misled operators about its state. Loss of coolant and inadequate circulation damaged the core. DOE describes subsequent changes to operator training, emergency planning and equipment requirements.[1]
The accident damaged Unit 2. The later Crane restart project concerns the separate Unit 1 reactor.[3]
