Nuclear Concept Art: A Visual Journey
Although we may not think of art at the same time as we think of nuclear facilities, art has nevertheless played an important role in their development. The "artist's concept," or an illustration (or model, or doctored photo of a model) was, and is, a very useful tool to display to anyone what a planned facility will look like - no small thing to a community asked to host one, or a utility paying to build one. There have been many genres of concept illustration or art produced for nuclear plants just as there have been for any other kind of thing - so let's take a look at some from my collection.
