Shippingport Atomic Plant Tests Begin for Commercial Power
The world’s first commercial atomic power plant started test operation in Shippingport Pennsylvania. The Duquesne Light Co reactor produced 25 kilowatts of heat with no power output and will, after tests, supply about 60 000 kilowatts to line circuits within one to two months. The startup echoes Enrico Fermi’s 1942 reactor achievement and signals the dawn of commercial atomic power. The reactor core holds 14 tons of natural uranium around 165 pounds of enriched uranium.
