SCRAM Shutdown

SCRAM Shutdown is an emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor by inserting a large number of negative reactions in the system. SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Axe Man. It is derived from the World War II usage which referred to emergency situations wherein a rope was cut to stop the operations urgently and to limit the damages arising out of continuance of such an operation. The dictionary meaning of SCRAM is to leave a place very quickly so that no one is caught.
