When Three Mile Island nuclear reactor was out of the control, the problem was not too little information, it was too much random information overloading the operators
Same reason why Victoria was without gas for two weeks following an explosion in the gas plant, 8,500 alarms in a 12 hour shift for the operator to deal with. Royal Commission,
Over time a culture developed whereby it became normal to operate the plant in alarm. This culture developed despite the fact that the alarms existed for the primary purpose of alerting operators to that which was abnormal.... The consequence was that the protective purpose of the alarm was lost..... The culture of operators regarding the operation of the plant in alarm was a contributing factor to the disaster.
