Idaho Falls SL-1 accident, Jan 1961

["North, David" <DNorth@LIFESPAN.ORG>]

Radsafers,



Could anyone point me in the correct direction for information regarding the

SL-1 reactor accident at Idaho Falls in January , 1961? I understand it

involved a major fission excursion, contamination of the facility, and three

deaths. Perhaps someone out there on the list actually worked on the

response and cleanup. Respond privately if you wish.



Thanks in advance for your help!
