Decommissioned Reactors ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant Vallecitos (English Vallecitos Nuclear Generating Station ) is the first commercial nuclear power plant in the USA and has a boiling water reactor. The nuclear power plant is located 30 miles east of San Francisco in the U.S. state of California.

History

The reactor at Vallecitos is a boiling water reactor, which was built by General Electric. The owner and operator was also General Electric. Construction was officially January 1, 1956, the commissioning of the reactor was on 19 October 1957. The reactor was also used to train operators for the nuclear power plant in Dresden.

The reactor was a joint project of the General Electric Company, Pacific Gas and Electric and the Bechtel Corporation.

In the grounds is a small research reactor with a maximum of 100 kW of power still in operation. Furthermore, there are laboratories for metallurgical analysis of irradiated materials and for the production of radioactive sources for medical and industrial applications.
