More recently was Fukushima. Interviewed engineers all recited the same failure probabilities, and every couple of days more "highly unlikely" events kept happening--explosions, power outages, cooling outages, partial meltdowns, full meltdowns, containment failures. Their confidence in the risk calculations was disturbing, especially because they failed to revise their priors after each new event! I don't mean to exaggerate the events. It was a shame nuclear energy suffered such a severe blow. But not as shameful as that parade of engineers who remained stubbornly committed to the consensus risk analysis as events unfolded (and seemingly remain so to this day).
