How Close Did Windscale Come to a Major Nuclear Disaster?

[QUOTE="Delta Force, post: 5822586, member: 612483"] I'm wondering how bad things could have gotten if Cockcroft's Follies had not been fitted to the reactor, as well as if the water injections could have caused a reactor explosion. At Three Mile Island the operators were very concerned about the hydrogen bubble in the pressure vessel being introduced to oxygen and an ignition source. At Windscale the reactor already had oxygen and an ignition source to which hydrogen was essentially being introduced to through the water injections. [/QUOTE]
