Re:SL-1 Reactor, Idaho Falls (Score 1)

There were three victims of the accident. One was dead when rescue teams entered the building. One was alive and was removed by emergency personnel and died while being transported by an ambulance. The third was not located for several hours until rescue crews spotted his body lodged in the ceiling by a control rod. There is no documentation to indicate the bodies were treated with caustic solution. Some early news reports stated the hands and heads were removed, but the NRF staff refutted this claim. The bodies were scrubbed with laundry detergent and clothing was removed. They were then interred in lead coffins. http://www.radiationworks.com/sl1reactor.htm
