Re: Widow Maker
I doubt it, but there'd be a lot of airborne and surface contamination. They
were likely to have hi dose rates just from the contamination.
My experience is that even a minor steam leak, such as from a failed instrument
line with intact fuel, can cause contamination in the mR/hr range on nearby
surfaces. I hope that I never have to deal with a main steam line failure with
fuel damage.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
