À propos de ce livre

Long before Chernobyl or Fukushima dominated global headlines, the atomic age claimed its first catastrophic victims in the freezing deserts of Idaho. In the dead of night, an isolated experimental military reactor violently exploded, instantly killing three operators and permanently altering the trajectory of American nuclear power. The SL-1 reactor incident was not caused by a massive systemic failure, but by a terrifyingly simple human action: the manual withdrawal of a single, highly sensitive control rod just a few inches too far. This book dissects the physics of the steam explosion, the grueling rescue operation in an environment flooded with unimaginable radiation, and the dark rumors of sabotage and personal jealousy that haunted the investigation. Uncover the brutal realities of the early atomic frontier, where ambitious engineering collided with fundamental human flaws. It reveals the chilling complacency of the military's nuclear program and the desperate scramble to understand an entirely new category of industrial disaster. Explore the gripping forensic investigation of the meltdown that forced the world to finally respect the unforgiving power of the split atom.
