PM-1

The PM-1 pressurized-water reactor was built as part of the US Army Nuclear Power Program (ANPP) to develop small pressurized water and boiling water nuclear power reactors for use in remote sites.

PM-1 went critical at Sundance, Wyoming, on Feb. 25, 1962.

Retired Master Sargent Cliff Coon headed up the dismantling of the reactor in 1969. [http://youtube.com/watch?v=5ERj2vnY3f4]
