Fatal incident

Main article: SL-1

The SL-1 reactor vessel being removed from the reactor building. It had jumped over 9 feet (2.7 m) during the accident.

On January 3, 1961, the only fatal nuclear reactor incident in the U.S. occurred at the NRTS. An experimental reactor called SL-1 (Stationary Low-Power Plant Number 1) was destroyed when a control rod was pulled too far out of the reactor, leading to core meltdown and a steam explosion. The reactor vessel jumped up 9 feet 1 inch (2.77 m).[53] The concussion and blast killed all three military enlisted personnel working on the reactor. Due to the extensive radioactive isotope contamination, all three were buried in lead coffins. The events are the subject of two books, one published in 2003, Idaho Falls: The untold story of America's first nuclear accident,[54] and another, Atomic America: How a Deadly Explosion and a Feared Admiral Changed the Course of Nuclear History, published in 2009.[53]

Pretty sure I read about this one a year or 2 ago, random research, might be significant in some capacity.

Wait...

Wait a minute...

I has a couple of theories brewing on this shit now!

Well all I have to come up with is Ted Bundy whose Mother and Grandmother both had the names of Eleanor and he committed murders in both Idaho and Utah In August 1974 Bundy received a second acceptance from the University of Utah Law School and moved to Salt Lake City, leaving Kloepfer in Seattle. While he called Kloepfer often, he dated other women, "at least a dozen" by his own estimate. Sometime during the year he lived in Utah he was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was not an active participant in Mormon services and ignored most church restrictions. In Oct and Nov of 1974 he killed 2 girls in Utah one nr Salt Lake and they both involved a pizza parlor. One came out of a pizza parlor and the other was found nude near a pizza parlor. This is all I have found so far and my brain is fried I must take a rest. I will be checking back to see if anyone has added to the post.

I am still going to work on that Aberfen Accident while looking into Bundy and checking on something else later. I had thought of Cathy Rigby but she has no connection to Utah or Idaho that i could find. There is so much going on there it is amazing. The find by cantsleep about the US Navy Recruiting Center and the Navy Ship Collision with the missing sailor being discovered is amazing and his first name is Logan and the ship is the John McCain. Estoteric found the Nuclear plant with 4K workers. It boggles the mind what is going on in this area. I wanted to look up the Obit on William Gray too.
