On April 27, 1952, Jimmy Carter, a 28-year-old U.S. Naval officer and nuclear engineer, led a dangerous cleanup mission at the NRX reactor in Chalk River, Ontario, which was on the verge of becoming North America's first nuclear meltdown; after Canadian officials made a desperate call to the United States Navy, Carter and his team practiced a 90-second procedure using a full-scale replica and then entered the reactor in shifts, with each man absorbing his lifetime dose of radiation, ultimately saving Canada from catastrophe.

The Nuclear Reactor That Almost Killed Canada #Shorts本站添加:
A nuclear reactor in the Canadian wilderness was about to become North America's first meltdown. The control rods had jammed. Radioactive water was flooding the basement. Scientists calculated they had hours before the core melted through the earth.
Canadian officials made a desperate call to the United States Navy. A 28-year-old nuclear engineer named Jimmy Carter volunteered for the suicide mission.
Carter and his team built a full-scale replica to practice the 90-second procedure. They raced into the reactor in shifts, each man absorbing his lifetime dose of radiation.
Carter saved Canada from catastrophe.
24 years later, he became president of the United States.
