No, the accident that triggered a major surge in safety inspections
and regulation occurred at another national lab around 1990 when a
graduate student was blinded by a laser on her(?) first day on the
job. The story goes that the superviser of that student went to
Washington to demand massive new safety inspections, training, etc.
Subsequently, safety inspections took place at all of the national
labs and many things were found and subsequently fixed, but it didn't
stop there. People have simply gone crazy over the years pointing at
things in labs and saying they are unsafe to the point that no one
can do anythng.
