On October 5, 1966 Fermi 1 suffered a partial fuel meltdown. Two of the 92 fuel assemblies were partially damaged. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), there was no abnormal radioactivity released into the environment. [4] Fermi 1 was a liquid metal (sodium) cooled fast breeder reactor design. It was capable of producing 200 ...
Fermi 1 was the United States' only demonstration-scale breeder reactor, built during the 1950s at the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station on the western shore of Lake Erie south of Detroit, Michigan.
Chicago Pile-1 (CP-1) was the world's first artificial nuclear reactor. On 2 December 1942, the first human-made self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was initiated in CP-1 during an experiment led by Enrico Fermi .
We Almost Lost Detroit, a 1975 Reader's Digest book by John G. Fuller, [1] presents a history of Fermi 1, America's first commercial breeder reactor, with emphasis on the 1966 partial nuclear meltdown. [2] [3] It took four years for the reactor to be repaired, and then performance was poor.
The Proton Improvement Plan II, a 10-year, $978 million project funded by the Department of Energy, which owns the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, is expected to ...
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), located in Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago, is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. Fermilab's Main Injector, two miles (3.3 km) in circumference, is the laboratory's most powerful particle accelerator . [ 2 ]
I lived in NYC for three years and visited many of the spots featured in "Home Alone 2." Scenes from the 1992 movie look similar to NYC today. Some places, though, closed or never existed.
NBC’s SNL50: The Homecoming Concert brought the stars to New York City’s Radio City Music Hall to celebrate the sketch show’s long history with musical artists.
