NASA Research Nuclear Reactor

A fantastic visual tour of NASA's one and only nuclear research reactor from the 60s, now completely scrapped.

There are some really great pictures of the technology used to isolate scientists from the dangerous radiation that was so important to their research. Some impressive work went into decommissioning as well; all surfaces had to be checked for radiation before being removed for trashing or nuclear waste storage.
