When I tried to learn English - in a galaxy far far away and a bloody long time ago - I always misheard Elvis Costello's Oliver's Army lyrics as "we can send you to chill Harrisburg".I think you're thinking of "The China Syndrome" (Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda) which pre-dated the Three Mile Island incident (which actually was a meltdown - contained by good engineering) by several years ... film 1969, accident 1976?For a second my eyes deceived me and I thought I'd read 'Three Mile Island' - which was the site of a near-miss nuclear accident, later filmed I think with Jack Lemmon starring.
