Troon four
Nuclear plant explored
O)
With one eye epen and a
quick look around the house
for anything I might forget, I
grabbed my sack lunch, ar
riving at the Fairgrounds at
5:30 a.m. to board the bus.
The Morrow County Exten
sion Tour Service with Harold
Kerr and Birdine Tullis as
tour directors, was headed for
the Trojan Nuclear Plant with
about 40 people aboard.
We were met by Buz Clough
at the Visitors' Center, who
was our personal guide
through the plant. The Visit
ors' Center is open to the
public every day.
Our tour began with an
explanation of how a nuclear
plant works. We were then
taken to the Exposition Center
to view different aspects of
nuclear energy with a film and
exhibits.
After lunch, we were asked
to leave all cameras and sh.. p
objects at the security desk.
We were taken to the en
trance, where again we were
met by more security people
who requested we turn in all
jewelry and silver coins. We
were led through a metal
detector similar to the air
port's security.
After our jewelry and mon
ey was returned to us, we
boarded an electric bus with a
very personable guide who
explained the steam gene
rators, nuclear fuel, the high
pressure turbines, and cooling
systems. We also viewed the
computer room that runs the
plant.

A nuclear power plant is
nothing more than a steam
electric generating station in
which a nuclear reactor takes
the place of a furnace and the
heat comes from the fissioning
of uranium fuel rather than
from the burning of fossil fuel.
It is the waste of the spent fuel
that makes the nuclear plants
unpopular in Oregon, even
though uranium in the fuel
tU-235) is so low that a
bomb-like nuclear explosion is
