Incompetence AND overconfidence, cause those reactors were the latest generation and considered completely safe.
Comment on It works better if you put it in your mouth first.

I’d sure hope that the latest generation of a technology would be considered safe. That’s generally how things work. And then when accidents occur, we learn and make things safer the next time.
As to them considering it completely safe, I’d love to read about that if you have sources. Cause I doubt that they thought it couldn’t fail.

It’s a good thing leadership incompetence is something that only ever happens once
