SL-1 — The SL 1, or Stationary Low Power Reactor Number One, was a United States Army experimental nuclear power reactor which underwent a steam explosion and meltdown in January 1961, killing its three operators. The direct cause was the improper… … Wikipedia
Void coefficient — In nuclear engineering, the void coefficient (more properly called void coefficient of reactivity ) is a number that can be used to estimate how much the reactivity of a nuclear reactor changes as voids (steam bubbles) form in the reactor… … Wikipedia
Nuclear meltdown — Three of the reactors at Fukushima I overheated, causing core meltdowns. This was compounded by hydrogen gas explosions and the venting of contaminated steam which released large amounts of radioactive material into the air.[1] … Wikipedia
