[caffeinesam]

Do you remember Three Miles Island? Dubbed American Chernobyl? Like yeah sure they narrowly avoided a meltdown and the other reactors were operated until 2019.

Anyway.

Microsoft has it restart operations, strictly to power their AI servers. And they got the permit because they trained their fucking AI bot to handle nuclear regulatory paperwork.

We're losing the plot here!

the SL1 nuclear accident 

“Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, also known as SL-1 or the Argonne Low Power Reactor (ALPR), was a United States Army experimental nuclear reactor in the western United States at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS)”

“It experienced a meltdown and steam explosion on the night of January 3, 1961, killing all three of its young military operators, and pinning one of them [Richard Legg] to the ceiling of the facility with a reactor vessel plug.”
