NOW WE'RE COOKIN'.

Some highlights from one of our recent acquisitions, a booklet from the Dungeness nuclear power station (the Magnox station later known as Dungeness A, as the first of the AGR stations to start construction, Dungeness B, was built on the same site) in southeastern England, circa 1966. Includes the amazing armorial bearings of the Central Electricity Generating Board.

The radioactive mile.

Frick’s Lock, PA.

January 8 2005, Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine USS San Francisco collides with an undersea mountain while sailing at 525 feet underwater, leaving 1 dead and 98 injured and almost causing the loss of the boat, after damage to the forward ballast tanks made surfacing initially impossible.

On the 10th of October 2008 she successfully returned to service after extensive repairs, which involved the replacement of her bow section with that of her sister ship USS Honolulu, which was scheduled for refueling her nuclear reactor, where the navy opted to decommission her in favor of the recently refueled San Francisco, given the 180 million dollars price tag for the refueling, vs the 70 million dollars repair work.
