Newsletter Canada Letter Jimmy Carter and Canada’s Worst Nuclear Reactor Accident The former American president, who died this week at 100, was among those who came to clean up a partial meltdown at Chalk River, Ontario. In the wide range of articles published by The New York Times this week after the death of Jimmy Carter, a fragment of largely forgotten Canadian history resurfaced. A yellowed certificate issued in 1953 by the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in New York State proclaiming Mr. Carter The NRX had a capacity of 30 megawatts that day, which was powerful by the standards of its time. On the day of the accident, the reactor was powered down for an inspection of its cooling system. In the basement, a worker mistakenly raised a few control rods that can reduce and, if necessary, completely shut down the chain reaction in the reactor. But the lights were wrong: Two or three of the rods were stuck and had only partly returned to safety. The NRX had been designed in Montreal in a joint Canadian-British project. But they provided equipment Canada lacked, like closed-circuit television, and they gained experience and training for themselves in dealing with the unprecedented situation. Lieutenant Carter, then 28, and his group worked on a “header” that fed cooling water from the river into the reactor, Mr. Brown said. Bryant Rousseau, an editor on the International desk, picked two from Canada. Suzanne Smith of Ajax, Ontario, is one of three owners of small coffee shops. TikTok food critic Kim Rosenberg of Toronto tells why "having a late December birthday sucks" Jimmy Carter redefined what a president can do after departing the White House.
