    I was talking about the one that exploded in Idaho. It was a “small” reactor. The control rods had to be adjusted by hand. Clearly there was nothing they could have done instead to avoid human error /s

      Lol I wasn’t familiar with that one.

      But my point was that even the big ones that have had big failures were caused by dumb shit that was entirely avoidable. All three of the famous ones could be designed away in new reactors.
