Article fails to mention one small Army reactor (3MW rating) - the one at the (remote) Idaho National Laboratory. In Jan. 1961, for 4 milliseconds it generated 20GW ... then it killed all three military operators ... then released 1100 curies of fission products into the air.
A part of small reactor history often dis-remembered by people who claim 'no deaths'.
