This week's presentation features one of the biggest stars in the world of nuclear energy today: Plant Vogtle's expansion project. You'll see the progress on site first hand, as always presented to us by the affable Joe Washington. Click the link and enjoy this Friday's Nuclear Matinee.
"Technical Area Five" or TA-V at Sandia National Laboratories encompasses a fascinating array of nuclear research activitites, which are detailed in this five-and-a-half minute video.
The versatile, powerful and unique ATR (Advanced Test Reactor) at Idaho National Laboratory is featured in this video describing it, the history of materials testing reactors that led up to it, and the uses for this amazing facility. Fuel handling and storage are also shown and described.
The only power facility in California that does not use any of the state's precious fresh water is the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in San Luis Obispo County. It can even produce additional freshwater for the nearby community.
