Reflector Repair Room

The reflector repair room at EBR-1, directly below the reactor, viewed from a maintenance console through 39 inches of lead glass. The color comes from both the glass - which is green - and the light inside - which is yellow.

 

This weekend, I spent two hours at EBR-1, the world's first nuclear power plan to generate electricity and the country's only nuclear facility with unfettered public access. It's the best thing in Idaho.

 

Yeah, I said it.

 

More tomorrow.
