I have a friend who's been there. They did more than ignore.
An arrogant scientist had ALL the safety systems shut down so he could run a test. He was one of the first to die.
More than just containment. For any US built reactor to meltdown the law of gravity would have to be repealed. :re: A safety system drops dampening rods. No intervention required.
I toured an aluminum plant in eastern Washington with a group of women engineers (many who worked in the nuclear field). They had a storage room with coal running out the doors. We joked about how much (regulatory paperwork especially) it would take to clean it up if a truck load of coal ended up on a road inside the nuclear reservation. :ek:
If I was a foreign government, I would worry that all the innovation and new technology in the nuclear field in the US has been done by our military especially our nuclear Navy.
