I have mixed feelings. It seems like nothing serious happened, no one was hurt, and all the systems worked, but on the other hand, this is still an emergency. Why did those rods fall in the first place?

The rods prevent an emergency. They’re a fail-safe.

It’s possible nothing was wrong and some sort of “blip” triggered them when they weren’t needed. And if so that’s annoying for the operators, but nothing bad was happening. And it confirmed the failsafe works.

If anything was starting to happen and the rods dropped and immediately stopped it that’s a failsafe working perfectly.

Either way this is fine. I know nuclear + unexpected = scary for many (maybe not you), but I don’t think that’s necessary here.
