Hounds, The actual website for SCRAM events that are monitored by the NRC is banned for use by the general public. My permission to use this website was: access denied. Try to find some SCRAM events listed. It is like a secret dirty laundry list of events of the nuke industry. You probably will be denied access to this website as I was but try to look it up anyway. www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/.../scramhtmlNuclearKay

I also was " Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/" However, I've found some things that may be of use to you: www.johnstonsarchive.net/nuclear/radevents/radaccidents.html www.johnstonsarchive.net/nuclear/radevents/index.html Also, as is my bent, I have included a few bits of extraneous stuff. Chaldean Numerology The numerical value of SCRAM in Chaldean Numerology is: 4 Pythagorean Numerology The numerical value of SCRAM in Pythagorean Numerology is: 9 Etymology Originally an acronym for Safety Control Rod Axe Man, a term used to refer to the person assigned to the duty of dropping the boron control rods into the "pile" at the University of Chicago in case of emergency. This task was accomplished by cutting the supporting ropes with an axe and allowing the rods to drop into the core by natural gravitational forces.
