Total Cost of Ownership and Nuclear Valve Projects
02/01/2011
At 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 2, 1957, the control rods at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station were raised just enough to allow the world’s first full-scale atomic electric power plant devoted exclusively to peacetime uses to reach criticality. After two weeks of testing and power ascension, the plant was providing electricity throughout the Pittsburgh area. Philip Fleger, Chairman of the Board for Duquesne Light Co., said, “The lessons already learned in building this pioneer station, the lessons yet to be learned in operating it, will be applied throughout the free world. Atomic power stations now under construction, as well as others still to be designed, will be more efficient and more economical because of it.” |
