We say goodbye to the Tetons today and travel to Idaho.The area from Idaho Fall to Arco is VERY arid.(Read dry,no real vegetation,dust storms!). We stopped at theEBR-I...the worlds first nuclear power plant.(1). This is where electricity was first produced using atomic energy.(4)The project involved a Breeder Reactor. (I have the brochure for anyone wanting accurate info!). Out side they have the remnants of a program involving the development of a nuclear powered fighter plane(2). That didn't quite work out, too dangerous in a crash!
Yep,that is Jan at the control panel. I am about to push the SKRAM button, which when the facility was is operation stopped EVERYTHING!(3)
Took care of some car maintenance (oil change) in Arco, Idaho. Set up camp and did laundry and enjoyed the moon rise and pleasant temperatures.(5)

I understand why they never used this engine. The only thing it would have fit in was the Star Ship Enterprise.(2)
I hope the button you were about to push didn't trigger thermonuclear annihilation. (3)
