Cisler applied for a construction permit for Fermi 1 in January 1956. A new company was formed to build the plant, the Power Reactor Development Company, or PRDC. [14] During a series of meetings with the AEC's Safeguards Committee in March, PRDC presented its work to date, but much of it remained preliminary.
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 .
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.

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 ...
[1] These are contrasted to generation I reactors, which refer to the early prototype of power reactors, such as Shippingport, Magnox/UNGG, AMB, Fermi 1, and Dresden 1. [1] The last commercial Gen I power reactor was located at the Wylfa Nuclear Power Station [2] and ceased operation at the end of 2015.
DTE's Fermi 2 nuclear plant in Newport has entered its 22nd maintenance and refueling outage. Staff will work on equipment during this time. ... Fermi 2, a 1,205-megawatt nuclear power plant, is ...
In 1956, an AEC report concluded a radiochemically measured conversion ratio of 1.00 ± 0.04, and a physically measured ratio of 1.01 ± 0.05, tentatively making it the world's first breeder reactor. [12] [13] On November 29, 1955, the reactor at EBR-I suffered a partial meltdown during a coolant flow test. The flow test was trying to determine ...
