Comment on Infamous $30 Logitech F710 called out in $50M lawsuit over Titan sub implosion
Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 months agoThe vast majority of the cause of the 3 mile island nuclear meltdown was a moisture soaked compressor pump completely unrelated to any of the safety or emergency systems. With complicated failures, the actual fault is not always easy to detect.
It’s reasonable to think that the controller might have contributed to unexpected descent past safety levels, or prevented them from recovering when warnings appeared.

Three mile island did not have a meltdown, ffs. Not even close.

You are technically correct, and that is the best kind of correct. I spoke from frustration, having grown up there. What i should have said was that there was no danger to the public, it was fully contained behind multiple redundant safety containments. Its frustrating because i feel like that incident stalled nuclear energy in this country since then.

I wouldn’t say no danger, but the danger was averted. It did even release radioactive material, but not enough to be dangerous.
It could have gone much worse, but it didn’t.
