On January 3, 1961, nine days after\r\nChristmas, Richard Legg, John Byrnes, and Richard McKinley were killed in a\r\nremote desert in eastern Idaho. Their deaths occurred when a nuclear reactor\r\nexploded at a top-secret base in the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS).\r\nOfficial reports state that the explosion and subsequent reactor meltdown\r\nresulted from the improper retraction of the control rod. When questioned about\r\nthe events that occurred there, officials were very reticent. The whole affair,\r\nin fact, was discussed much, and seemed to disappear with time.
In order to grasp the mysterious\r\nnature of the NRTS catastrophe, it help to know a bit about how nuclear\r\nreactors work. After all, the generation of nuclear energy may strike many as\r\nan esoteric process. However, given its relative simplicity, the way in which\r\nthe NRTS reactor functions is widely comprehensible. In this particular kind of\r\nreactor, a cluster of nine-ton uranium fuel rods are positioned lengthwise\r\naround a central control rod. The reaction begins with the slow removal of the\r\ncontrol ro, which starts a controlled nuclear reaction and begins to heat the\r\nwater in the reactor. This heat generates steam, which builds pressure inside\r\nthe tank. As pressure builds, the steam looks for a place to escape. The only\r\nplace this steam is able to escape is through the turbine. As it passes through\r\nthe turbine on its way out of the tank, it turns the giant fan blades and\r\nproduces energy.
On the morning of January 3, after\r\nthe machine had been shut down for the holidays, the three men arrived at the\r\nstation to restart the reactor. The control rod needed to be pulled out only\r\nfour inches to be reconnected to the automated driver. However, records\r\nindicate that Byrnes yanked it out 23 inches, over five times the distance\r\nnecessary. In milliseconds the reactor exploded. Legg was impaled on the\r\nceiling; he would be discovered last. It took one week and a lead-shielded\r\ncrane to remove his body. Even in full protective gear, workers were only able\r\nto work a minute at a time. The three men are buried in lead-lined coffins\r\nunder concrete in New York, Michigan, and Arlington Cemetery, Virginia.
The investigation took nearly two\r\nyears to complete. Did Byrnes have a dark motive? Or was it simply an accident?\r\nDid he know how precarious the procedure was? Other operators were questioned\r\nas to whether they knew the consequences of pulling the control rod out so far.\r\nThey responded “Of course! We often talked about what we would do if we were at\r\na radar station and the Russians came.
“We’d yank it out.”
Official reports are oddly\r\nambiguous, but what they do not explain, gossip does. Rumors had it that there\r\nwas tension between the men because Byrnes suspected the other two of being\r\ninvolved with his young wife. There is little doubt than he, like the other\r\noperators, knew exactly what would happen when he yanked the control rod.

As used In paragraph 1, which is\r\nthe best antonym for reticent?
Many people like to eat pizza, but\r\nnot everyone knows knows how to make it. Making the perfect pizza can be complicated,\r\nbut there are lots of ways for you to make basic version at home.
When you make pizza, you must\r\nbegin with the crust. The crust can be hard to make. If you want to make the\r\ncrust yourself, you will have to make dough using flour, water, and yeast. You\r\nwill have to knead the dough with your hands. If you do not have enough time to\r\ndo this, you can use a prepared crust that you buy from the store.
After you have chosen your crust,\r\nyou must then add the sauce. Making your own sauce from scratch can take a long\r\ntime. You have to buy tomatoes, peel them, and then cook them with spices. If\r\nthis sounds like too much work, you can also purchase jarred sauce from the\r\nstore. Many jarred sauces taste almost as good as the kind you make at home.
Now that you have your crust and\r\nyour sauce, you need to add the cheese. Cheese comes from milk, which comes\r\nfrom cows. Do you have a cow in your backyard? Do you how to milk the cow? Do\r\nyou know how to turn that milk into cheese? If not, you might want to buy\r\ncheese from the grocery store instead of making it yourself. When you have the\r\ncrust, sauce, and cheese ready, you can add other toppings. Some people like to\r\nput meat on their pizza, while other people like to add vegetables. Some people\r\neven like to add pineapple! The best part of making a pizza at home is that you\r\ncan customize it by adding your own favorite ingredients
