Nuclear Powers SWE

SWE and IEEE WIE (Women in Engineering) toured the Seabrook Power Plant on May 20, 2008. It was a great experience for the whole group and was a very interesting behind the scenes tour of the plant, especially the turbine generator. Tour members learned that Seabrook produces enough power to supply a million households at a time! They got to walk next to the generator and even feel how much the turbine vibrated the floor and how the sea water cooling the plant warms. See more pictures in the photo gallery.
