Second (1958) Chalk River incident should also be in this list
My guess is that the 1958 incident would be level 4, but I have not been able to find any source that confirms this. (Fuel rod was damaged and caught fire, reactor was damaged, interior of building + 0.4 sq km contaminated.) https://www.nuclearfaq.ca/cnf_sectionD.htm#nru1958

Note that the List of civilian nuclear accidents article lists it as level 5, but this may be due to a misreading of the following source discussing the 1952 incident: http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2016/ph241/zerkalov1/docs/mukhopadhyay.pdf KaiaVintr (talk) 18:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think we need more examples in the table; we already arguably have too many. VQuakr (talk) 18:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Suggestion is based on the fact that Sellafield appears in the list eight times, and calling the Chalk River accident the "first" naturally makes people wonder about the others. But anyway, if no reference can be found for the rating, then not much can be done. KaiaVintr (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
