Publicity photo from Consumers Power; accompanying caption reads "Men in white carefully examine a bundle of fuel at Consumers Power Company's Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant, near Charlevoix. The fuel bundle has already successfully passed rigid inspection, but even so, operators take a last-minute look before placing the fuel in the reactor core. The bundle contains 144 rods filled with enriched uranium pellets. The plant helps supply electric power to the Consumers electric system, which serves 61 of the 68 counties in Michigan's Lower Peninsula."
