I don't know if this helps, but it's a small excerpt from a dose  
reconstruction report produced by ORAU _www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/pdfs/tbd/etec4.pdf_ 
(http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/pdfs/tbd/etec4.pdf) 
 
SNIP>“Of all these incidents, only the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE)  Fuel
Damage incident, commonly known as "The Meltdown," resulted in a  measurable 
release of
radioactive material into the environment.” The SRE was  a sodium-cooled 
graphite-moderated
reactor in Building 143, which in 1959 had  a loss of coolant that resulted 
in damage to 13 fuel
assemblies (Sapere and  Boeing 2005, pp. 2-1, 2-3, 2-5). Radioactive noble 
gases reached the  outer
containment and 28 Ci of radioactive noble gases 133Xe and 85Kr were  
released in a controlled manner
and low concentrations to limit the potential  dose (Rutherford 2005).<SNIP
