Avoid Stockpiling Fissionable Material for Safety

Criticality incidents, where accidental nuclear chain reactions occur, highlight the dangers of mishandling fissionable materials. Notable incidents include the 1958 Los Alamos accident and the 1999 Tokaimura disaster, both resulting from improper handling and excessive accumulation of nuclear material. These events underscore the importance of strict safety protocols and constant vigilance in nuclear operations to prevent catastrophic outcomes.
