This image of the SL-1 core served as a sober reminder of the damage that a nuclear meltdown can cause. The SL-1, or Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, was a United States Army experimental nuclear power reactor which underwent a steam explosion and meltdown on January 3, 1961, killing its three
This image of the core from the SL-1 disaster, Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA, served as a reminder of the necessity for proper reactor practice and safeguards. The 18,000 km 2 expanse of the Semipalatinsk Test Site (indicated in red), in present-day Kazakhstan, covers an area the size of Wales. [2] These are lists of nuclear disasters and radioactive ...
