If you were to ask an American what the worst nuclear accident in the United States was, if they even have an answer, they would probably say Three Mile Island. Most Americans are unaware that in January 1961, a reactor an isolated Idaho desert went supercritical and killed two soldiers and a sailor. This is the story of the SL-1 reactor explosion, complete with finger-pointing, deflecting blame, and false, unsubstantiated rumors of a love triangle and murder/suicide that made it into the official record anyway. While only one of the victims is buried at Arlington, they all deserve to be remembered.
This week’s Ghost of Arlington are:
- Army Specialist 4 Richard McKinley (Section 31, Grave 472)
- Army Specialist 5 John Byrnes (Utica, New York)
- Navy Construction Electrician First Class Richard Legg (Kingston, Michigan)
