In 1957, the Windscale nuclear reactor in England experienced a fire that released radioactive materials into the surrounding area. The fire was caused by a cooling issue and was only fully extinguished after two days. Despite the incident, there were no immediate health effects on the local population, but it did lead to increased monitoring and safety regulations for nuclear facilities.
