In a large nuclear reactor, a loss of coolant accident can damage the core: for example, at Three Mile Island a recently shutdown (SCRAMed) PWR reactor was left for a length of time without cooling water.
U velikom nuklearnom reaktoru neseća gubitka rashladne tekućine može oštetitit jezgru: na primjer U Three Mile Islandu nedavno isključen (SCRAMed) PWR reaktor je bio ostavljen dugo vremena bez rashladne tekućine.
