So Texas is below average in percent of electric power from nuclear. My dad worked for Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems. He was involved in several US plants but was eventually Manager of Latin American projects. I know he worked on nuclear plants in Brazil and Puerto Rico.
When I was working in the Robotics Institute Raj Reddy became aware that automation was somehow involved in the Three Mile Island accident. He asked me to ask my dad what happened so I got a written report from him. As I recall the automation worked as designed but a human operator overrode it causing the damage. I still have that write-up somewhere. --- Frank C.
