c.1964 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Promotional PR Brochure Vintage Nuclear

Description: This is a vintage original c.1960s promotional brochure for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station operated by the Philadelphia Electric Company. This is an oblong booklet format of 16 pages plus the covers measuring about 8.5” x 5.5”. I don’t find a date on this booklet but references in the text indicates this was issued in advance to the planned 1964 opening of the Peach Bottom plant, probably in the early 1960s. This vintage original brochure is in excellent, near mint condition. The following is some information on the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station from Wikipedia: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, a nuclear power plant, is located 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Harrisburg in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna River three miles north of the Maryland border. The Philadelphia Electric Company (later "PECO") was a pioneer in the commercial nuclear industry when it ordered Peach Bottom 1 in 1958. The U.S.'s first nuclear power plant (the Shippingport Reactor) had gone on line a year earlier. Peach Bottom Unit 1 was an experimental helium-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor. It operated from 1966 to 1974. Peach Bottom 2 and 3, General Electric boiling water reactors, went on-line in 1974, and are still in operation on the 620-acre (2.5 km2) site today. Both Units 2 and 3, originally rated at 3,514 megawatts thermal (MWth), equivalent to about 1,180 megawatts of electricity (MWe) each, were uprated to 4,016 megawatts thermal (MWth), equivalent to about 1,382 megawatts net of electricity (MWe) each in 2018. Units 2 and 3 were originally licensed to operate until 2013 and 2014, respectively. Their licenses were extended until 2033 and 2034 and then, in 2020 they were extended to 2053 and 2054 Payment Terms Winning bidders will receive an email directly from eBay at the end of the auction or after purchasing a fixed price item.
