reactor was in bad condition because or (xenon?) contamination, they pushed, pushed, no reaction, pushed, pushed and boum... the exact story is more complex but that is a short summary... 2013/5/27 David Roberson <[email protected]> > > I am not too familiar with a nuclear reactor, but I suspect that the > movement of the rods must be extremely careful and minor to keep it from > getting dangerously out of control.
