O knihe

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! On 10 October, 1957, the graphite core of a British nuclear reactor at Windscale, Cumberland (now Sellafield, Cumbria), caught fire, releasing substantial amounts of radioactive contamination into the surrounding area. The event, known as the Windscale fire, was considered the world's worst reactor accident until Three Mile Island in 1979. Both incidents were dwarfed by the magnitude of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. After the Second World War, in 1946, despite the participation of many British scientists in the Manhattan Project, and formal agreement of a joint technology-exchange program, the United States government passed legislation that closed its nuclear weapons program to all other countries. The British government, not wanting to be left behind as a world power in an emerging arms race, then embarked on a programme to build its own atomic bomb as quickly as possible.
