A poof of radioactive steam let loose. That's it, the whole incident. People freaked out on March 28, 1979.

In totally unrelated news, The China Syndrome, about a reactor meltdown, came out March 16, 1979.

I do not think anyone is suggesting that it wasn't a nuclear accident. Or suggesting that people did not get hurt as a result of it.

But the cause of the accident is extremely well understood, and was mostly down to Human error not a failure in their design.
