Nuclear plant operators blamed in NRC report
NRC staff blamed Three Mile Island operators for turning a potential minor incident into a major accident by misdiagnosing conditions and delaying proper actions. The report cites at least six human errors and notes harder control rooms in Bebcock Wilcox designs. It also cautions about zirconium degradation and hydrogen risks, with regional tourism potential discussed as a silver lining.
