Greetings all!
On March 4th, we have Owen Gailar discussing the first nuclear reactor accident in the U.S., the ALPR1-SL1 reactor. "The SL-1 reactor, originally named Argonne Low Power Reactor, ALPR, was designed for the USA Army as a prototype of a low-power, 300 kWe boiling-water reactor plant to be used in geographically remote locations. The SL-1 was accidentally destroyed in a prompt criticality accident caused by the accidental ejection of a control rod during maintenance operations, followed by a steam explosion causing the death of four people on January 3, 1961." See the attached pdf flyer for details.
