Feb. 24—NISKAYUNA — Even people well aware of Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory and its secretive military work may never have heard of its most recent operator. Fluor Marine Propulsion is a far ...
The reactor was built by General Electric and operated by the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory at the Kesselring Site Operation in West Milton, New York. It was used for testing components and as a training tool for the Nuclear Power Training Unit. The reactor operated from 1962 to 1996, when it was shut down in March of that year.
Remediation of the site was undertaken by Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL), based out of Schenectady, New York. KAPL had taken over operation of the S1C site in the 1970s after expiration of the Navy's original contract with C-E. [citation needed] The reactor was situated on land and known as the S1C Nuclear Power Training Unit (NPTU).
This prototype design was a land-based nuclear reactor that did not use control rods. It was tested in the late 1970s and early 1980s at the Modifications and Additions to a Reactor Facility (MARF) plant located at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory's Kesselring Site in Ballston Spa, New York.
A prototype reactor was built ashore at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory's Kesselring Site in West Milton, New York in 1958 to test the reactor design. [1] [2] Once the design was proven, the prototype continued operation to train students and test new systems and materials. This prototype training reactor was taken off line in 1992 and ...
The Nuclear Power School (NPS) is a technical training institution operated by the United States Navy in Goose Creek, South Carolina.It serves as a core component of the Navy’s program to prepare enlisted sailors, officers, and civilians employed at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory and Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory for the operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants aboard surface ...
