I was a power plant operator on a nuclear submarine. We were shown a classified film that about the SL-1 incident as part of our training. Recalling that film still gives me chills.
A lot was learned about reactor safety as result of that disaster.
The movie came out years after I left the Navy. But yeah, watching it gave me that same sick feeling. The images seem to combine with memories in a way that makes me feel like I'm there. Parts of the film are unrealistic, but I won't watch it again.
