This bibliography brings together a broad base of literature directly related to the Three Mile Island-2 accident and its aftermath, covering the humanities, social sciences, hard sciences such as medicine, nuclear biology, and the environment, and government publications.

The book is arranged by subject for the journal articles, with separate chapters for popular literature and proceedings. Government documents are arranged by issuing agency, and include the President's Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Department of Energy.
