Tonight I’m bringing you some dark science-fiction… which ended up after the story was published, being less science fiction and more science fact. Almost as if the author was a prophet. "Blowups Happen" is a 1940 science fiction short story by American writer Robert A. Heinlein . The story describes the tensions among the staff of a nuclear reactor. Heinlein's concept of a nuclear reactor was one of a barely contained explosion, not the steady-state thermal plants developed later. As a consequence the work is dangerous, and the slightest mistake could be catastrophic. All the technical staff are monitored by psychologists who have the authority to remove them from the work at any time lest they crack under the pressure and precipitate a disaster. The monitoring itself contributes to the problem.
