b'What about the love triangle/ murder-suicide rumor?I n 1961, a steam explosion at an experimental reactor called SL-1 killed three operators. There was a rumor that one of the men purposely caused the accident because he found out his wife was having an affair. Evidence doesnt support this scenario. Post-accident investigations indicated the reactor featured a primitive design, and operator logbook entries noted that the central control rod had momentarily stuck in place during the previous six months. The accident led to better reactor designs, material selections and conduct of operations.'
