Here in Canada they shut down the worlds major reactor for producing medical isotopes - because the secondary backup diesel generator failed an inspection.
It didn't matter how many cancer patients died because of the lack of treatments - you can't be too careful.
It's lack grounding all the fire engines in a city because one of them had a siren a 1/4 tone flat.
Actually, Chalk River went down for awhile due to a crack in the reactor vessel. It's actually rather amazing that they were able to repair it. They actually had to use "robots" to repair the welds because it was too hot for humans. The imaging techniques (effectively sonar and eddy currents) that they used to determine where the fractures were was also impressive.
So, sometimes if something shuts down, it's not a conspiracy, but really is an issue of safety (cracked reactor vessel===bad)
