RE: SCRAM
Just to confuse matters, I had read that the emergency shut down for
CP-1 was a technician, poised to empty several gallons of saturated
Cadmium Sulphate solution into the graphite/uranium lattice. This would
have had the effect of making restarting CP-1 'difficult' and some of
the scientists on the project thought that this was unecessary for that
reason.
Anyone else care to shed some light on this?
Best wishes,
