I can't remember the title of a R. Bradbury short story I am looking for. The story line is that of workers in a Nuclear Power Plant, who are constantly monitored for psychological stability, and stress, to insure operational safety and predict problems before they occur. Also, a mathematical system for ensuring critical mass will not be reached...triggering dangerous chain reaction occurrence.....and a mistake in the equation's calculation is found.

If you know the name of this story.....please reply.....TNX

This story is drawing a blank with me. I certainly don't remember it as any Bradbury stories I recall. Judging by the lack of other responses, I would guess I'm not alone in this intellectual chasm of darkness?

I was counting on you to recognize it as a story by someone else. Now I'll have to send it around to the "usual places."

Sounds like "Blowups Happen" by Robert A. Heinlein, one of his short stories available in several Heinlein anthologies.
