At exactly 6:06PM on July 24th, 1964, a 38-year-old father of nine poured what he thought was 11 liters of solvent into a mixing tank. What followed was the worst radiological accident in the US nuclear industry’s history. This [HALF-LIFE HISTORY] is the true story of the Wood River Junction criticality accident.
