Nuclear reactor accidents in the United States reactors and research facilities. This led to the introduction of the Price-Anderson Act in 1957, which was "an implicit admission that nuclear power provided risks that producers were unwilling to assume without federal backing". Nuclear reactor accidents continued into the 1960s with a small test reactor exploding at the Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One in Idaho Falls in January 1961 resulting in three deaths which were the first fatalities in the history of U.S. nuclear reactor operations. There was also a partial meltdown at the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station in Michigan in 1966. The large size of nuclear reactors
Jōyō (nuclear reactor) Jōyō (nuclear reactor) It was made with the purpose of doing tests on and advancing the development of that type of reactor, as an irradiation test facility for construction materials. It also does tests with the nuclear fuel as well as activation experiments. The reactor has gone through 3 different core changes. The current core provides the neutron flux of 4×10 cms for E>0.1 MeV. After an incident in 2007, the reactor is suspended for repairing, recovery works were planned to be completed in 2014. Following the closure of the unsuccessful follow-on fast breeder reactor Monju in 2016, a decision
