Well knowledge of the industry has come on a long way since those occurrences and so has technology.Chernobyl was undoubtedly caused by poor maintenance and poor design .Three mile island was caused by human error and mechanical faults .In a modern reactor these sort of issues ,although not impossible to happen ,would be a lot less likely to happen .I think safety has come on in leaps and bounds since those accidents
