Description

The Lady Godiva device after the criticality accident of 3 Feb 1954. An unreflected 54Kg sphere of 93.7% pure 235U, [in the scrammed state]. The criticality excursion released 5.6x1016 neutrons and warped or broke several support structures of the device. There was no radiation exposure to workers who were 1/4 mile away controlling the experiment and there was no contamination of the area.
