Where can I find a list of all criticality accidents which have taken place outside of a reactor vessel, such as at a fuel processing plants?
For information on criticality accidents at AEC facilities from 1943-1970 see http://209.207.236.112/nuke/trinity/accident/crittabl.htm They have information on a wide variety of accidents including the two fatal ones at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. Gregory Walker has a collection of interesting documents relating to criticality accidents that includes the above document along with several others at http://sun00781.dn.net/nuke/trinity/accident/index.html There is some additional information on the Oak Ridge site at http://epicws.cped.ornl.gov/critical.html including a PDF document on the 1958 Y-12 Excursion, and other materials. There is an interesting article in the historic material prepared by Hanford on Worker protection in the war and post war years at http://www.hanford.gov/docs/rl-97-1047/healthsafety/index.ht m which will give you a good feeling for what steps were taken to protect workers.
