SL1 project ring a bell, I would suggest you do a Google search, 3 killed, bodies 3 weeks later were severed parts and were buried a Rad Waste. Human Error caused the accident not a government agency.

That was the SL-1 research reactor that exploded on 3 January '61. And the AEC (later the NRC) said that it was not human error, but sabotage.
Here is an interesting website detailing the event:
