Nuclear research frontier in Idaho Falls history tale
In southeastern Idaho the National Reactor Testing Station near Idaho Falls employs 5000 mostly engineers and scientists from across the region. The 894 square mile desert site hosts a legacy of nuclear research with many graduates, including seven NMSU alumni, contributing to a growing atomic era community amid harsh winters and wind driven roads that shut down access twice in eight years.
