Then The China Syndrome came out. Or was it vice versa?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Syndrome

The film was released on 16 March 1979, 12 days before the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Coincidentally, in the film, physicist Dr. Elliott Lowell (Donald Hotton) says that the China Syndrome would render "an area the size of Pennsylvania" permanently uninhabitable. While some credit the accident's timing in helping to sell tickets,[5][6] the studio attempted to avoid appearing as if it were exploiting the accident, which included pulling the film from some theaters.[7]
