Atomics International

Atomics International was a division of the North American Aviation company (later acquired by the Rockwell International company) which engaged principally in the early development of nuclear technology and nuclear reactors for both commercial and government applications.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Atomics International

Chauncey Starr

Chauncey Starr (April 14, 1912 – April 17, 2007) was an American electrical engineer and an expert in nuclear energy. Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Chauncey Starr are atomics International.

Coal-fired power station

A coal-fired power station or coal power plant is a thermal power station which burns coal to generate electricity.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Coal-fired power station

Control room

A control room or operations room is a central space where a large physical facility or physically dispersed service can be monitored and controlled.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Control room

Fossil fuel

A fossil fuel is a carbon compound- or hydrocarbon-containing material such as coal, oil, and natural gas, formed naturally in the Earth's crust from the remains of prehistoric organisms (animals, plants and planktons), a process that occurs within geological formations.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Fossil fuel

Graphite

Graphite is a crystalline form of the element carbon.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Graphite

Hallam, Nebraska

Hallam is a village in Lancaster County, Nebraska, United States.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Hallam, Nebraska

Lincoln, Nebraska

Lincoln is the capital city of the U.S. state of Nebraska and the county seat of Lancaster County.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Lincoln, Nebraska

A liquid metal is a metal or a metal alloy which is liquid at or near room temperature.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Liquid metal

Nebraska

Nebraska is a triply landlocked state in the Midwestern region of the United States.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Nebraska

Neutron moderator

In nuclear engineering, a neutron moderator is a medium that reduces the speed of fast neutrons, ideally without capturing any, leaving them as thermal neutrons with only minimal (thermal) kinetic energy.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Neutron moderator

Nuclear entombment

Nuclear entombment (also referred to as "safe enclosure") is a method of nuclear decommissioning in which radioactive contaminants are encased in a structurally long-lived material, such as concrete.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Nuclear entombment

Nuclear power plant

A nuclear power plant (NPP) or atomic power station (APS) is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Nuclear power plant

Sheldon Power Station

Sheldon Power Station is a coal-fired power station located near Hallam, Nebraska. Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Sheldon Power Station are energy infrastructure completed in 1963 and former nuclear power stations in the United States.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Sheldon Power Station

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Sodium

Sodium Reactor Experiment

The Sodium Reactor Experiment was a pioneering nuclear power plant built by Atomics International at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory near Simi Valley, California. Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Sodium Reactor Experiment are atomics International and former nuclear power stations in the United States.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Sodium Reactor Experiment

Stainless steel

Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Stainless steel

Steam turbine

A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Steam turbine

Thermal efficiency

In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency (\eta_) is a dimensionless performance measure of a device that uses thermal energy, such as an internal combustion engine, steam turbine, steam engine, boiler, furnace, refrigerator, ACs etc.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Thermal efficiency

Thorium fuel cycle

The thorium fuel cycle is a nuclear fuel cycle that uses an isotope of thorium,, as the fertile material.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Thorium fuel cycle

Turbo generator

A turbo generator is an electric generator connected to the shaft of a water turbine or steam turbine or gas turbine for the generation of electric power.

See Hallam Nuclear Power Facility and Turbo generator

United States Atomic Energy Commission

The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was an agency of the United States government established after World War II by the U.S. Congress to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology.
