Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, also known as SL-1, initially the Argonne Low Power Reactor (ALPR), was a United States Army experimental nuclear reactor in the western United States at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in Idaho about forty miles (65 km) west of Idaho Falls, now the Idaho National Laboratory.

heat and a steam explosion that thrust steam, water and metal at the three men working to prepare The Stationary Low-Power Plant Number 1 (SL-1) was a 3-megawatt experimental reactor designed for the U.S. Army to use in remote locations. The prototype was located at the National Reactor Testing Station,

2022年2月9日 · The men who died in the explosion were buried in lead-lined caskets. Today, the SL-1 explosion is remembered as the only fatal nuclear reactor accident in U.S. history.

The SL-1 Reactor Accident site today. The world's first fatal atomic accident occurred on January 3, 1961 when a small, 3MW experimental BWR called SL-1 (Stationary Low-Power Plant No. 1) in Idaho was destroyed after a control rod was removed manually.

On January 3, 1961, a steam explosion occurred at the SL-1 US Army experimental nuclear reactor located outside Idaho Falls, Idaho, leaving three technicians dead, the only US fatal nuclear reactor accident so far.

In the heart of winter 1961, in a remote area of the desert forty miles west of Idaho Falls, an Army- commissioned nuclear project went horribly wrong when the three on-duty operators were killed by a sudden steam explosion and subsequent reactor meltdown.

2007年9月1日 · The Accident • In January of 1961, the SL-1 nuclear reactor exploded near Idaho Falls, Idaho, killing three engineering technicians on duty. • While performing a basic

2013年9月25日 · U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (Idaho Operations Office) briefing about the SL-1 Nuclear Reactor Meltdown. 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 operators.

2022年9月27日 · The Army’s SL-1 (Stationary, Low-power 1) in Idaho was part of the Army Package Power Program, previously called the Argonne Low Power Reactor, ALPR. It was designed to be built on the tundra above the DEW line to power radar stations. It suffered an explosion on January 3, 1961 that resulted in 3 gruesome casualties.
