Image description

A team of the operating personnel wearing radiation protection equipment enters the reactor cavern of Lucens, Switzerland, after the nuclear reactor accident, pictured on January 29, 1969. On January 21, 1969, Switzerland came dangerously close to nuclear catastrophe. After renovation works, the reactor was restarted when a serious incident took place: After problems with the cooling system, a partial core meltdown occurred. The nuclear accident in Lucens today counts as the 7th most serious such incident worldwide. It brought a definite end to the plans of a Swiss nuclear reactor.
