It wasn't the people working there running some crazy test? A test that consisted of shutting down the water pumps (that need to run all the time in that reactor design) and tried to restart them on momentum before the back up diesel kicked on. Which didn't work and then the graphite core caught fire....and then it went downhill from there. I thought that I read that someplace. Was that some of the cover story? Plus basic upkeep that wasn't happening.
