Talk:Shippingport Atomic Power Station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Contradiction?

It says:

It began operating on December 2, 1957 [...]
Ground was broken in 1954 at a dedication ceremony attended by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who opened the Shippingport atomic power station on May 26, 1958 as part of his Atoms for Peace program.

Was it operating before being opened? Ben T/C 08:09, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

According to the ASME article, it went critical and generated power in "test" mode before formally "opening".--J Clear 23:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Site clean up

"The site has been cleaned up and released for unrestricted use." Does that refer to a web site, post 9/11 or to the physical site on the Ohio River? If the latter, when was the plant decomissioned, cleaned up, etc. In either case it needs clarification.--J Clear 17:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
