Superstructure Blowout (Meltdown:) Unbeknownst to Technical Staff, a faulty electromagnet was installed in the Light Tritium Unit Central Solenoid, compounding issues with a stress test scheduled for Beta Workshift. The electromagnets within the Central Solenoid are responsible for moderating the DT plasma's reaction with the Bavarium Agitator, a disposable module used in order to kickstart the fusion reaction and allow for fusion at even low temperatures. The electromagnet burned out and quenched after Reactor Operations increased electromagnet power to maximum in order to compensate for the high temperatures during the stress test, allowing the DT plasma to fully react with the components in the Bavarium Agitator, causing a runaway reaction. (Canon) Reactor Operations was able to shut down the LTU using the LTU shutdown sequence during the slim window to shutdown the reactor, preventing the reaction from running away, but leaving quite the damage to the reactor and submarine. (Non Canon) Unfortunately, the LTU wasn't shut down during the Termination Window, and the fusion reaction became self sustaining, feeding off of the critically damaged Bavarium Agitator, resulting in the formation of a Fusion Anomaly. Evacuation helicopters were dispatched to evacuate as many people from the submarine as possible before the LTU "went critical" and exploded. The explosion blows the submarine apart and nearly causes a helicopter carrying a good portion of the crew to crash. Chemical Release Event: The Reactor Operations team intentionally leaves the reactor at 200 Celcius, just above the temperature for reactor stall to test the limits of the Bavarium catalyzed LENR system. Unfortunately, the reactor starts producing Element Lambda, an element that defies classification on the Mendeleev Periodic Table of Elements, and is capable of lowering temperatures to below -273.15 celcius or 0 Kelvin (Absolute Zero.) The operations team is overjoyed at creating one of the most rare elements on planet Earth, then horrified at the aspect that the element threatens to freeze the submarine and kill anything living inside. The operations team is able to escape via helicopter, and fortunately, the LTU not only shatters, stopping the runaway reaction, but also turning the submarine into an iceberg, sealing the Element Lambda within before it can escape and cause global pandemonium.
