The direct cause of the accident was cited as the depositing of a uranyl nitrate solution--containing about 16.6 kg of uranium, which exceeded the critical mass--into a precipitation tank. Three workers were exposed to extreme doses of radiation. He could talk, and only his right hand was a little swollen with redness. Less than 20 nuclear accidents had occurred in the world to that point, and most o
