Then just undo all of the previous switches- there isnt. There is no need to lift them out of place, and the reactor can now be restarted by just turning this button off. To shutdown the reactor, press the button to release the rods from the fuel assembly. 1996, "Nuclear submarine accidents," in The Russian Northern Fleet, Bellona, on line at Bellona. Wait until the temperature reaches 100 degrees, and then turn on the turbine switch.

Efforts to repair the submarine were unsuccessful, and the whole submarine was scuttled in Stepovogo Bay at Novaya Zemlya in 1981. Radiation exposures to the crew caused 9 deaths and 83 injuries, including 40 with acute radiation sickness. The submarine used the starboard reactor to return to port. Fission products leaked into the reactor compartment and eventually to the rest of the submarine. Probably the buildup of oxide particles had prevented coolant flow to one part of the reactor, causing it to overheat such that some fuel melted.

On 24 May, K-27 was sailing at full power when the port reactor dropped to 7% power due to a coolant failure. In May 1968 submarine K-27 was ordered to participate in a naval exercise, despite objections that the reactor coolant was due for cleaning. The system tended to leak steam that would oxidize the liquid metal coolant, requiring frequent cleaning of oxide particles from the coolant. Trident missile system or the reactors on nuclear submarines and that the greatest risk to the safety of the Defence. R/O Invicta House, 108-114 Golden Lane, London EC1Y 0TL. The K-27, launched 1 April 1962 and commissioned 30 October 1963, was the sole Project 645 (November-ZhMT) class submarine it had two liquid metal (lead-bismuth) cooled reactors each with a capacity of 73 MWt.
