K-116 (Echo II) suffered a reactor accident (a leak of core coolant from the port reactor) in the Bay of Vladimir, Sea of Japan. Some of the crew received a large dose of radiation, but there were no fatalities. 21 August 1980 K-122 (Echo I) had a fire in compartment VII (turbo-electric) when 85 miles (137 km) to the east of Okinawa.

Soviet submarine K-19 reactor accident 1961, July 4 More than 30 people were over-exposed to radiation when the starboard reactor cooling system failed and the reactor temp rose uncontrollably. Emergency repairs ordered by the captain successfully cooled the reactor and avoided meltdown, but exposed the workers to high levels of radiation. [17] 8
In January 1960, confusion among the crew during a watch change led to improper operation of the reactor and a reactor-control rod was bent. The damage required the reactor to be dismantled for repairs. The officers on duty were removed and Captain Panov was demoted. The submarine's ensign was hoisted for the first time on 12 July 1960.

Examples include lethal effects to individuals, large radioactivity release to the environment, reactor core melt. The prime example of a "major nuclear accident" is one in which a reactor core is damaged and significant amounts of radioactive isotopes are released, such as in the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 and Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
Iranium – a movie about the nuclear weapons program of Iran; K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) – covers the Soviet submarine K-19 nuclear accident; Ladybug, Ladybug (1963) – During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, teachers at a secluded countryside elementary school are asked to walk their pupils home after a nuclear bomb warning alarm sounds.
The Sodium Reactor Experiment was restarted on September 7, 1960, [8] nearly fourteen months after the accident. In 1961, Atomics International produced another movie explaining the accident and the recovery operation. [9] The Sodium Reactor Experiment operated until February 15, 1964.
