The Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power plant on the shore of Lake Erie near Monroe, in Frenchtown Charter Township, Michigan on approximately 1,000 acres (400 ha). All units of the plant are operated by the DTE Energy Electric Company and owned (100 percent) by parent company DTE Energy.
Fermi 1 was the United States' only demonstration-scale breeder reactor, ... A new company was formed to build the plant, the Power Reactor Development Company, or PRDC.
Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant was a nuclear power plant at Trino (often referred to as ‘Trino Vercellese’, meaning ‘Trino in the Province of Vercelli’), in north-west Italy. Consisting of one 260 megawatt pressurized water reactor (PWR) from the vendor Westinghouse Electric Corporation , it operated from 1964 until 1990.
DTE's Fermi 2 nuclear plant in Newport has entered its 22nd maintenance and refueling outage. Staff will work on equipment during this time.
With his colleagues, Fermi filed several patents related to the use of nuclear power, all of which were taken over by the US government. He made significant contributions to the development of statistical mechanics, quantum theory, and nuclear and particle physics. Fermi's first major contribution involved the field of statistical mechanics.
That same day, Enrico Fermi, the Italian physicist instrumental in the development of nuclear technology, loaded the first uranium slug into the reactor’s core. ... At 10:48 p.m., power reached ...
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Michigan, sorted by type and name.In 2022, Michigan had a total summer capacity of 30,538 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 117,497 GWh. [2]
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.
