___MASK65___ College is a private Ivy League research university in ___MASK27___ , New Hampshire , United States . Established in 1769 by Eleazar Wheelock , ___MASK65___ is one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution . The Three Mile Island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown that occurred on ___MASK19___ 28 , 1979 , in reactor number 2 of Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station ( TMI - 2 ) in ___MASK28___ , ___MASK25___ , United States . It was the ___MASK88___ significant accident in U . S . commercial nuclear power plant history . The incident was rated a five on the seven - point International Nuclear Event Scale : Accident With Wider Consequences . Thomas ___MASK45___ Kurtz ( born February 22 , 1928 ) is a retired ___MASK65___ professor of mathematics and computer scientist , who along with his colleague John G . Kemeny set in motion the then revolutionary concept of making computers as freely available to college students as library books were , by implementing the concept of Time - Sharing at ___MASK65___ College . In his mission to allow non - expert users to interact with the computer , he co - developed the BASIC programming language ( Beginners All - purpose Symbolic Instruction Code ) during 1963 to 1964 . The Ivy League is a collegiate athletic conference comprising sports teams from eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States . The conference name is also commonly used to refer to those eight schools as a group beyond the sports context . The eight institutions are Brown University , ___MASK11___ University , Cornell University , ___MASK65___ College , Harvard University , the University of ___MASK25___ , Princeton University , and Yale University . The term " Ivy League " has connotations of academic excellence , selectivity in admissions , and social elitism . The colonial colleges are nine institutions of higher education chartered in the American Colonies before the ___MASK79___ became a sovereign nation after the American Revolution . These nine have long been considered together , notably in the survey of their origins in the 1907 " The ___MASK55___ History of English and American Literature ". Seven of the nine colonial colleges are part of the Ivy League athletic conference : Harvard , Yale , ___MASK31___ , Princeton , Columbia , Brown , and Dartmouth . ( The eighth member of the Ivy League , Cornell University , was founded in 1865 .) A mathematical problem is a problem that is amenable to being represented , analyzed , and possibly solved , with the methods of mathematics . This can be a real - world problem , such as computing the orbits of the planets in the solar system , or a problem of a more abstract nature , such as Hilbert ' s problems .< br > It can also be a problem referring to the nature of mathematics itself , such as ___MASK13___ ' s Paradox . Eleazar Wheelock ( April 22 , 1711  April 24 , 1779 ) was an American Congregational minister , orator , and educator in ___MASK7___ , Connecticut , for 35 years before founding Dartmouth College in New Hampshire . He had tutored Samson Occom , a Mohegan who became a Presbyterian minister and the first Native American to publish writings in English . Before founding Dartmouth , Wheelock had founded and run the Moor ' s Charity School in Connecticut to educate Native Americans . The college was primarily for the sons of English colonists . A mathematician is someone who uses an extensive knowledge of mathematics in his / her work , typically to solve mathematical problems . ___MASK27___ is a town in Grafton County , New Hampshire , United States , along the Connecticut River . The population was 11 , 260 at the 2010 census . CNN and " Money " magazine rated ___MASK27___ the sixth best place to live in America in 2011 , and the second best in 2007 . " This just might be the best college town ," read a headline in a story in the January / February 2017 issue of " Yankee ". ___MASK28___ is a county in the U . S . state of ___MASK25___ . As of the 2010 census , the population was 268 , 100 . The county seat and the largest city is ___MASK52___ , ___MASK25___ ' s state capital and tenth largest city . The county was created (" erected ") on ___MASK19___ 4 , 1785 , from part of ___MASK76___ County and was named after Louis - Joseph , Dauphin of France , the first son of Louis XVI . Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station ( TMI ) is a nuclear power plant located on Three Mile Island in the ___MASK73___ Township on the ___MASK60___ just south of Harrisburg , the state capital . It has two separate units , TMI - 1 and TMI - 2 . The plant is widely known for having been the site of the most significant accident in United States commercial nuclear energy , on 28 March 1979 , when TMI - 2 suffered a partial meltdown . According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( NRC ), the accident resulted in no deaths or injuries to plant workers or members of nearby communities . Follow - up epidemiology studies have also not linked any incidents of cancer with the accident . The reactor core of TMI - 2 has since been removed from the site , but the site has not been decommissioned . Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat , which ___MASK88___ frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant . The term includes nuclear fission , nuclear decay and nuclear fusion . Presently , the nuclear fission of elements in the actinide series of the periodic table produce the vast majority of nuclear energy in the direct service of humankind , with nuclear decay processes , primarily in the form of geothermal energy , and radioisotope thermoelectric generators , in niche uses making up the rest . Owing , fundamentally , to the delayed critical fission process , Fission - electric power stations are one of the leading low carbon power generation methods of producing electricity , and in terms of total life - cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy generated , has emission values lower than " renewable energy " when the latter is taken as a single energy source . Since all electricity supplying technologies use cement , etc ., during construction , emissions are yet to be brought to zero . A 2014 analysis of the carbon footprint literature by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) reported that the embodied total life - cycle emission intensity of fission electricity has a median value of 12 g eq / kWh which is the lowest out of all commercial baseload energy sources , and second lowest out of all commercial electricity technologies known , after wind power which is an Intermittent energy source with embodied greenhouse gas emissions , per unit of energy generated of 11 g eq / kWh . Each result is contrasted with coal & fossil gas at 820 and 490 g eq / kWh . With this translating into , from the beginning of Fission - electric power station commercialization in the 1970s , having prevented the emission of about 64 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent , greenhouse gases that would have otherwise resulted from the burning of fossil fuels in thermal power stations . There is a social debate about nuclear power . Proponents , such as the World Nuclear Association and Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy , contend that nuclear power is a safe , sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions . Opponents , such as Greenpeace International and NIRS , contend that nuclear power poses many threats to people and the environment . The American Revolution was a political upheaval that took place between 1765 and 1783 during which colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies rejected the British monarchy and aristocracy , overthrew the authority of Great Britain , and founded the ___MASK79___ . John ___MASK5___ Kemeny ( Hungarian : Kemény János György ; May 31 , 1926 -- December 26 , 1992 ) was a Jewish - Hungarian American mathematician , computer scientist , and educator best known for co - developing the BASIC programming language in 1964 with Thomas E . Kurtz . Kemeny served as the 13th President of Dartmouth College from 1970 to 1981 and pioneered the use of computers in college education . Kemeny chaired the presidential commission that investigated the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 . BASIC ( an acronym for Beginner ' s All - purpose Symbolic Instruction Code ) is a family of general - purpose , high - level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use . In 1964 , John G . Kemeny and Thomas E . Kurtz designed the original BASIC language at ___MASK65___ College in the U . S . state of New Hampshire . They wanted to enable students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers . At the time , nearly all use of computers required writing custom software , which was something only scientists and mathematicians tended to learn . ___MASK10___ is a state in the ___MASK66___ region of the northeastern United States . It is bordered by Massachusetts to the south , Vermont to the west , ___MASK24___ and the ___MASK96___ to the east , and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north . ___MASK10___ is the 5th smallest by land area and the 9th least populous of the 50 United States .
