Visit a Nuke! Wear your best!

Here are a few postcards from visitors centers promoting nuclear power. Don't you love the fashions?


This is a scene from the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago at the Commonweath Edison exhibit with a model of the Dresden Power Station Unit 1. Our ladies, with legs coyly forward, are learning how electricity produced by nuclear reactors serves American homes and industries.


Dad and sons are figuring out their tour at Quad Cities, another Commonwealth Edison (now Exelon) plant. What big feet these guys have!


Finally, here's the visitors' center at the Brunswick Plant in Southport, NC, south of Wilmington. Do you think the shoes on the family in the lower right hand corner could be any whiter?!? For me this plant is memorable because I was hit by a car in a convenience store parking lot in Southport while on a plant visit for NRC in 1983.  Not serious - I live to tell the tale!
