Unique Reactors
Aug 20, 2004
In December 1951, twenty years after the death of Thomas Edison, four electric light bulbs in Idaho signaled a new era. The Unique Reactors feature looks at the first reactor to provide electric power, the first commercial nuclear power plant, the largest reactors, the units with longest service, and various other reactors that are worthy of note. Scientists challenged conventional thinking as they sought to develop Russia's nuclear-powered icebreaker, the first nuclear ship in the U.S. Army, Japan's reactor for a small Alaskan village, and the Indian reactor that yields more uranium than it consumes.

EIA Library/Archives
Jul 27, 2004
EIA has modified the functionality of its Library/Archives Web page (http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/bookshelf/index.html) to provide a more comprehensive and topically relevant display of reports to customers.
Instead of the "stovepipe" model previously used, in which reports were mainly grouped along an organizational scheme, the new model tags reports according to the energy topic(s) to which they belong. This makes it easier to display all reports with substantial information on a particular energy topic when a customer clicks on that topic.
