2012, Day 296 - Swivel

This is where the magic happens, the reactor room that would be filled with steam and a rather unhealthy dose of radiation.  There were steel plates laying on the floor and it smelled of a foundry in the confines of this cavernous space.  The teams had been back cutting out more scrap and dragging it outside to be broken down into smaller pieces.  Those parallel yellow beams dominating the top of the image are part of a crane that could pass from one end to the other while rotating in the circular room.  There is so much to take in at a place like Satsop, I hope I can go back soon so I can try to take it all in again.
