Hmm... WikiPedia says otherwise about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arco,_Idaho . Maybe fine lines here, but Arco was the first town to be lit by electricity from a nuclear generator. I rode through there once. Strange place. | ||

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal may shed some light. Nuclear is at an interesting point at present. | ||

Hmmmn...I'll ask my wife - who happens to be a Russian engineer, when she's not running my e-commerce operations or baking perogies. | ||

I love pierogies. If you ever want to see a good argument, get a Russian, a Pole, and a Ukrainian together and ask them to debate the origins of the pierogie. | ||

I've been to the former squash court where the first nuclear pile was built in Chicago. It's long been cleaned up, and it was NOT a power plant, as it had no means to boil water. The first power plants I know of were U.S. Navy plants meant to be prototypes for the Nautilus, launched in 1954. | ||

The first American Nuclear Power Plant was located in Atomic City, Idaho. While it may have powered he city of Arco, Idaho; the plant itself was near Atomic City. The reactor is now a little known museum but very cool for engineers particularly some of my university classmates that majored in nuclear engineering and material science. The location was perfect for an experimental reactor because it is remote and surrounded by a circle of small mountain ranges. I wish I still had my Atomic City can holder.... |
