SL1 was caused by a deliberate act of an employee who wanted to embarrass his boss. He pulled a control rod ... or several and got pined to the roof by the steam. They buried his coffin encased in several tons of lead. IMO the real problem with nuclear is getting rid of the waste products. But then you don't live 90 mi from a whole field of million gallon leaking tanks of waste.
