Today we are touring a nuclear power plant.
It's really cool, so in my other dam videos
the water pushes the turbine. Here the steam
pushes the turbine.
This is the very first spot that electricity
was generated by nuclear power.
This is one
of the first lightbulbs, behind me, that was
ever lit by nuclear power.
There are four left in the world but only
two available.
One in the library in Texas and one here.
Just toured through and this is the actual
spot where they made electricity with atomic
power for the very first time.
It was December 20th of 1951 when they first
generated power and it was just enough to
barely light one lightbulb.
Then the next day they lit several light bulbs
at the same time.
So this particular plant never made enough
to power a city or do anything substantial
but it was an experiment.
They were basically trying to prove whether
or not they could make power using nuclear
energy and they did.
Hope you enjoyed this video.
Bye!
