Hartsville (TN)
michaelcook:
Continuing my project looking at cancelled reactor complexes, I recently made a first visit to a couple of TVA sites. Here are a few frames from the four cancelled units at Hartsville, TN.
Parts of the Hartsville "A" Complex, from a middle deck of a turbine/control building.
Footings for one of the B unit reactor cores.
Inside the containment for one of the A reactors.
What I took to be a fuel handling building in the A complex, please correct me if I'm mistaken.
I'll post more photographs to this thread when I've processed them.
There are three days left to make a pledge at http://www.ulule.com/nuclear-carcasses to support this project, which explores the remaining physical footprints of unfinished reactor projects. In exchange for your support, you can receive one of a selection of prints of the photographs I made at Marble Hill, IN (or if you would prefer one of these Hartsville images, just message me and we can make arrangements).
Donations will fund further work in the Tennessee Valley, as well as at other sites across the U.S. For more discussion about the ideas behind this project, which I have retitled "Temples of the Atom," do check out the previous Marble Hill thread.

And there it is.

Must have been a BWR 6.

Hey thanks for the pics and the reminder to donate! Sent a little help your way!

PS I can't believe that is a vessel sitting in the middle of the last pic. Good stuff! I might have to go take this tour one day myself!
