Big Rock Control Room

Publicity photo from Consumers Power; accompanying caption reads "In the 'brains' of a nuclear plant - the control room of Consumers Power Company's Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant, near Charlevoix. Operators are timing the insertion and withdrawal of the 32 control rods in the reactor, a check made each time before each plant 'start-up.' Directly in front of the men, a panel shows the location of the control rods inside the core of the reactor."
