Description

First nuclear power as electricity

Researcher Logan Emlet with the small steam engine generator.

A Graphite Reactor experiment in August results in the first nuclear power produced in the world as electricity. A crew of operators and engineers inserts an aluminum can of uranium fuel slugs into a side hole of the reactor connected to a water supply. The resulting steam drives a small steam engine generator which, in turn, generates a small amount of energy required to light a flashlight bulb.
