(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Fermi 1

Fermi 1 is the nation's first commercial breeder reactor, located around the Detroit area. In October 1966 it suffered a partial fuel meltdown, but no dangerous amount of radiation had been released and no one was injured. The plant continued to operate until September 1972 and is set to close October 2012.

The incident led to a book by John G. Fuller and a song by Gil Scott Heron, both entitled We Almost Lost Detroit.
