Nope, SL-1 killed at least three in the accident and no doubt some of  
the first responders were severely damaged by their exposure. For a  
fairly accurate version of the story try http://home.neo.rr.com/ 
catbar/brain_candy/brncdy59.htm or search for SL-1 nuclear reactor on  
google or your favorite search engine.  There have been several other  
fatal radiation incidents involving power plants but many are not  
publicly documented.
