The film follows the aftermath of the 1958 reactor incident at Vinča Nuclear Institute and the subsequent treatment of irradiated Yugoslav physicists at the Curie Institute in Paris, which involved the first bone marrow grafts between unrelated donors and hosts ever made in the world. [3] [4]
The institute operates two research reactors; RA [7] and RB. [8] The research reactors were supplied by the Soviet Union. The larger of the two reactors was rated at 6.5 MW and used Soviet-supplied 80% enriched uranium fuel. [9] The nuclear research program ended in 1968; the reactors were switched off in 1984.
Under Siege (1992) – movie about arms dealers who take over a U.S. Navy battleship, and attempt to sell the ship's nuclear-tipped Tomahawk Cruise Missiles on the black market; Vikram (1986) – Indian action adventure film by Rajasekhar about a Research and Analysis Wing agent who has to retrieve AgniPutra, a stolen nuclear-capable Indian ICBM.
Hanford’s B Reactor, the world’s first full-scale production reactor, is shown from the air in 1944. B Reactor also produced plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, Aug. 9 ...
Pickering nuclear Reactor 2, Pickering, Ontario, Canada: LOCA loss of coolant accident. Pressure tube, that holds the fuel bundles, ruptured due to hydriding. All four reactors re-tubed with new materials (Zr-2.5%Nb) over ten years. [24] 0: 1 billion Canadian dollars (1983-1993). [25] March 1986: Bruce nuclear Reactor 2, Bruce County, Ontario ...
Working with a full-face gas mask, he successfully shut down the reactor. A large fire had developed within the compartment, raising the pressure. When Preminin tried to reach his comrades on the other side of a door, the pressure difference prevented him from opening it, and he died of asphyxiation in the reactor compartment.
Criticality accidents are divided into one of two categories: Process accidents, where controls in place to prevent any criticality are breached;; Reactor accidents, which occur due to operator errors or other unintended events (e.g., during maintenance or fuel loading) in locations intended to achieve or approach criticality, such as nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors, and nuclear ...
Powered by two nuclear reactors, the 1,100 ft (340 m) long vessel is equipped with all the necessary facilities to house 6,000 personnel and over 80 aircraft. Viewers are given an exclusive look at how the crew of this 'floating naval base' is put through a series of tests in order to obtain their flight deck certification.
