On January 3, 1961, a serious incident occurred at the experimental reactor SL-1 in the state of Idaho, USA. During routine maintenance, three members of the evening shift were reconnecting control rods to the drive mechanism. At one point, the central control rod was manually withdrawn from the reactor core. This caused a rapid power surge, overheating of the fuel, and a powerful steam explosion. The sudden pressure increase ejected the central rod upward, and the reactor vessel itself was lift

In January 1961, at a remote Idaho testing site, the SL-1 experimental nuclear reactor became the site of the first fatal criticality accident in U.S. history. The disaster was caused by a single manual movement. After a routine maintenance shutdown, three technicians—Jack Legg, John Byrnes, and Richard McKinley—were tasked with reattaching the control rods to their drive mechanisms. To do this, the central control rod had to be manually lifted just a few inches. However, for reasons still debat
