Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Constellation said Friday the company has a 20-year deal with Microsoft to restore the Three Mile Island's Unit 1 nuclear power reactor in Pennsylvania, the site of an infamous nuclear power meltdown.

The deal to restart Three Mile Island Unit 1 will create 835 megawatts of carbon-free energy, create 3,400 jobs and send more than $3 billion in tax revenue to state and local governments, Constellation said in a statement.
