WHAT DOES SCRAMMING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

scramming

Scram

A scram or SCRAM is an emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor – though the term has been extended to cover shutdowns of other complex operations, such as server farms and even large model railroads. In commercial reactor operations, this emergency shutdown is often referred to as a "SCRAM" at boiling water reactors, and as a "reactor trip" at pressurized water reactors. In many cases, a SCRAM is part of the routine shutdown procedure as well. The term is usually cited as being an acronym for safety control rod axe man, which was coined by Enrico Fermi when the world's first nuclear reactor was built under the spectator seating at the University of Chicago's Stagg Field.
