Sure, but that was a) 31 years ago, b) a reactor built without the safety standards we have now, and c) a reactor operated without the safety standards we have now.
As far as I understand, making a reactor built in the last 25 years go 'wrong' in any way like that is very difficult, and would take much more than negligence or incompetence.
Fukushima is an example of this – the reactor that had issues was over 50 years old, but all the modern ones were fine.
