The Headquarters Centre 1 Meltdown was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred at the Headquarters Centre 1 in the summer day of August 5, 1993. It caused the headquarters center to collapse. The accident surprisingly killed no one but rendered every place within 19 miles barren.
The cause of the accident was attributed to a "total core melt" in one of the center's reactors that culminated in an atomic explosion and the release of vast amounts of radiation. The blast was extensive, having had the capacity to obliterate the landscape for over 19 miles from the epicenter in all directions. The initial explosion occurred on August 5, 1993, after nobody noticed a fault in Reactor 1's main safety systems, which had not been operating for at least three days prior to the incident. The reactor eventually overheated, leading to uncontrolled reaction conditions that were similar to that if the bomb that was dropped in Hiroshima was dropped at the center, which killed no one, but destroyed Headquarters Centre and nearly obliterating the community and surrounding communities.
