   It's also a matter of plants being designed by civil engineers who think   
   about failure in a very different way than say, aircraft control system   
   engineers.   
      
   Every post-1970 nuclear accident can be pretty easily tracked down to one   
   big stupid management decision somewhere.  Systems should be designed so   
   that it takes more than one bad decision to cause a failure, and this is   
   a hard thing to do.
