Tractor succeeds where submarine fails
Creators
Description
When reactor 4 at Canada's Bruce A nuclear power station was shut down because of a coolant blockage in one of the fuel channels, a special ''submarine'' was developed but failed to remove the obstruction. So a tractor was tried instead and proved to be more successful. The problem and eventual solution is discussed. (U.K.)
