    …I really don’t know what to do with this information.

    Idaho! That’s where the first 3 people died from a nuke explosion!

    https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/ebri-reactor-meltdown-1955-nuclear-power

    The article that you linked doesn’t even speak of there being a “nuke explosion” nor deaths, injuries, casualties, etc., etc.

    Are you implying that modern nuclear reactors are unsafe? Or perhaps, how far we’ve come with nuclear reactor procedures, technologies and safety messures, from back in Or perhaps, you’re sharing a tidbit and an article that relates only in the fact that they both happened in Idaho. Or perhaps, you’re trying to stir up trouble.

      The article is about EBR-1. The steam explosion was at SL-1

      Most people who’ve studied the history of nuclear energy at all know about it. While it’s seldom talked about (like most of the other accidents kept out of the news) SL-1’s not hard to learn more about, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SL-1#Accident_and_response
