It didn't. The SCRAM stopped the meltdown from happening. The cut to color bars signifies that the accident is being swept under the rug rather than the conditions leading up to it being dealt with. I have no idea why people want this serious, cerebral drama movie to end with a kind of fantastical action-movie ending where the plant blows up. The movie is about the dangers of entrusting nuclear power in the hands of capital, the near-miss is enough to scare us.

I remember going to the theatre to watch this film and the Three Mile Island disaster occurred within a week of its release. I also know, since I grew up in Michigan, of an incident that occurred near Detroit and could have been a tremendous disaster. I am not proposing that nuclear power is not what we need because we *do* require it to allow us to function. Just like anything, there is a downside. If only scientists could eliminate the danger and maximize its potential. But then, this has been an issue since the first moment an atom was split.

Everyone let down Jack Godell in every single way. Right at the moment of that vibration, Jack knew that something was wrong, but still, nobody believed him, no matter how worried that he was. The reality of the situation was already explained by the scientist. After that vibration, there was a strong possibility of radiation flying into the air, but everyone was nonchalant about it, and Jack didn't have anyone to count on to help him fix it. Jack was disregarded, misunderstood, followed, and alone. Nobody could work up the will to help him.

Yeah, you're right, Jack probably went overboard when he exceeded more than what the book guidelines said could be done. However, there might've been a risk of something dangerous happening if he didn't make certain orders. In the end, the plant went haywire, but it was finally stabilized. Regardless if the plant went back to normal, he was right that it should have been shut down. Jack might've overreacted, but his paranoia proves a point when you finally see the whole plant turning dark in the control room while shaking and rumbling everywhere with the lights flashing all over the place. He was right, that vibration he heard in the beginning meant something very bad was bound to happen.

You can see the guilt and remorse in Ted's and Herman's faces in the scene in the control room in the scene before this - they both knew they had the chance to listen to him, but neither did. In Ted's defence, he did warn Herman that Jack was concerned about a scram when Herman decided to try and deliberately scram the plant, but Herman was too busy brown-nosing McCormack (think that was his name, the CEO played by Richard Herd?) and trying to stay in his favor...

When Reagan's FCC killed the Fairness Doctrine, it killed the kind of journalism so many Americans remember. Granted, the Doctrine only applied to broadcast news at the time. But that was because cable news was in its infancy. I'm sure it would have been added to the Doctrine, but that likely would have required legislation to implement. If the Fairness Doctrine had been left intact, and extended to cable news, Fox News and its ilk wouldn't exist. Fair and balanced, indeed.

What I always find interesting is that in the movie, an anti-nuclear activist makes a comment to the effect that if a full meltdown had occurred it would have "rendered an area the size of Pennsylvania" uninhabitable. Then, less than two weeks after the film's release, the Three Mile Island Reactor in Pennsylvania had a partial meltdown caused by a stuck valve in the cooling system that allowed large amounts of nuclear reactor coolant to escape. The mechanical failure was compounded by the initial failure of plant operators to recognize the situation as a loss-of-coolant event, during which an operator manually overrode the emergency cooling system of the reactor because the operator mistakenly believed that there was too much coolant water present in the reactor when it was actually dangerously low, which is a nearly exact repeat of the events depicted in the movie.
