Today’s Photos of the Day were shot at Salem Nuclear Plant near Salem, New Jersey and at the Farley Nuclear Plant near Dothan, Alabama.
Most of you know that in my previous life I helped inspect nuclear plants. I always traveled to these plants with my camera. Unfortunately, even though I was in the industry for more than 11 years, I was never able to get shots of the most interesting parts of the plants – the reactor and spent fuel pools – largely because most things brought into the containment building come out as nuclear waste and wind up smashed into yellow and magenta 55 gallon drums.
I used to work with a woman from Dothan…did you know it’s the condom capital of the world? Well, that’s what she claimed….:-)
Thanks to you, Wendy, I WAS aware of that little tidbit. Thanks for remining me…
PireDude,
I was just surfing around & saw your webpape. You got some of the most beautiful pictures on here. Especially these two pictures of the nuc plants… reminding me of the old days working at these places.
What’s going on w/ u these days? Tranman
