But what's the point though? Three Mile Island was fully paid by the insurance.

With regards to Fukushima the powerplant didn't kill anyone, the tsunami, on the other hand, did and of course, the public needs to pay for as it was force majure not the actual nuclear power plant that created the disaster.

And Tjernobyl was in a country which didn't have any private ownership so of course the public paid for it.

What other cases can you come up with where insurance didn't cover it?

It's pretty important to get things into proper perspectives here.
