My civilian RadCon instructor at S1W prototype was Arlo Trost one of the first to reenter the building. Lots of good stories I wish I could remember them all. The love triangle is the story we got from people who were there.

Was the world’s first fatal nuclear explosion really sparked by a love triangle?

Homosexual hijinks within the enlisted ranks seems to be a common theme for the Navy when attempting to affix blame for systematic failure. #2 16 inch gun turret- USS Iowa - Clayton Hartwig. They did not anticipate taking on the mans mom. Lets go Davy !!

I guess we will never really know for sure. What we do knoe is that the reactor design was really poor. They were in the infancy of nuclear technology and safety wasn't as big of a concern in 1961 as it is today. Was the act deliberate or was the operator distracted by outside concerns and wasn't paying attention, or was it an equipment malfunction?
