Anything can be dangerous.

Three Mile Island, if I have my facts straight, was a rather new facility, with 
fairly new operators.  Inadequately trained operators.

Water level was dropping in the core.  A particular valve had 600 PSI on one 
side, and 200 PSI on the otherside.  Closed, right?  WRONG!  If they had closed 
the valve, no problem would have occurred.  High pressure steam can be funny 
that way.

I think better design might have given indications of the status of the valve.

So, some rabble rouser says some things, and people who don't have a clue 
believe it, then the mob is off and running.
