What? The system was designed to ignore a SCRAM?
As dad would say, "What in Saint Barbara's name were they thinking?"
Some of these reactors are still running. Somebody needs to do a line-by-line review of the safety shutdown code. Hell, I'll do it if nobody else does - but this should really be a team effort.

Quote:At 14:01:03 Core feed water boils at an increasing rate. Steem pipe pressures increase within the core. A low water alert from the steam seperator system triggers an automatic SCRAM. As a shutdown is in progress, this is logged as an anomaly in the system and remains active.
