Reactor Accidents

[Field@amrf-po.pmeh.uiowa.edu]

          Speaking of obscure reactor accidents.  Is anyone familiar
          with a reactor accident, "the locals call it a meltdown",
          that occurred in the early 60's in the vicinity of Hallum,
          Nebraska.  Residents of Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska
          frequently refer to it.  

          Thanks for your help....

          > I have seen the film you most probably refer to about 15
          years ago and it had been lent from the IAEA (International
          Atomic Energy Agency). I do not know whether they still have
          it or wether it is available on loan. The IAEA homepage,
          from where you might find whom to contact, is:
