There are too many safety measures now to worry about it. One of our reactors was refurbed and thrown back online recently, kept going down. They didn't know why, but it doesn't really matter because it was "safe" enough to shut itself down before anything serious happened.

Oh, and you cannot instantaneously change the current through an inductor (electromagnet for example).
