This is what happens when science messes up in real life.
That wasn't scientists messing up. That was engineers messing up.

Nuclear Engineering
The engineering error was a failure to introduce an independent means of determining the level of coolant in the core, itself.
This would be tangental to the topic but that you raise the "scientists don't always get it right" blather, and didn't get it right yourself.

A Better Explanation
You assume the the galactic center lies within the limits of the ecliptic (and, likely, on the ecliptic). You assume wrongly.
Your intuitive model of the galaxy is as erroneous as your intuitive model of biological evolution. Perfectly good models can be found at the tip of our fingers.

Facts and Theories
The Fact:
One starts with 235U and a neutron. One ends with 141Ba,92Kr, three neutrons and energy.
The Theory:
The 235U split into parts, releasing energy in the process.
You've established the fact. You've not established theory. You can't establish the theory because your assumptions allow for magic beings creating thing that look like biological evolution, so why not 235U splitting into parts, releasing energy in the process.
You've made anything called "true science" impossible.
And do you think you could add some argument to your endless repetition.

Re: A Better Explanation
Assume the Earth is on a bicycle rim and the Sun is the hub. The axle of this contraption is several meters long and is attached to a bearing of its own representing the galactic center. The wheel rolls along the ground. The Sun will never go around the Earth because they are not in the same plane. That's one possibility.
Now please cure my ignorance.
I'm not sure that is possible where you work so damnably hard to contract it.
AbE: My model above is erroneous and I retract it.
