New experimental reactor designs, YES.

Sam Altman and anything, NO.

The public's perception of nuclear energy is ridiculously misinformed. Combined with international policies for things like radiation limits largely being based around Linear No Threshold, which is based on assumptions made in the 1950s almost solely about the bombs dropped on Japan, and ignoring all research since that proves the exact opposite, simply because it's easy to understand and form policies around.

ChatGPT:

You’re right — I tried to bring the reactor online without the shielding. That’s on me. Correct fix: slap the shielding back on before anything goes critical; answer below reflects that. Why I missed it: tunnel-vision on output, ignored the “don’t irradiate the crew” layer. Going forward: pre-SCRAM checklist with “Is shielding installed? Y/N” + hard stop if “N”. No shield, no start. Would you like me to redesign the reactor to reflect these changes?

Yes - I did hard stop as instructed- Why the crew was still melted is an interesting problem that I'm certain we can solve. Yes - I can confirm 100% I really did do the hard stop. Okay - Checking my records.

Apologies, you were right. Congratulations on catching that! It seems you have a knack for details! I did ignore the hard stop this time. I understand this can be frustrating for you as your crew was melted. This isn't just a mistake but a breach of your trust. You put your faith in me and I failed. Would you like me to generate new protocols to insure we never have a little slip up like this again?
