the question however remains: why was the control rod lifted beyond specification? accident or intentional. no one really knows. the conclusion is that humans are the unreliable factor in nuclear reactor operation.
This meltdown, while tragic, added so much to reactor safety that it cannot be considered a failure on the part of the government. That we learned so much from this event shows better than any other single event that with good planning and careful design that nuclear energy can be safer than nearly any other form of energy.
