RMFFN50R–Control room and reactor shut-down switch in Hinkley Point B nuclear power station. Somerset, UK

RM2AFC3EK–The control room of Chernobyl’s reactor four, the site of the world’s most devastating nuclear catastrophe. The former nuclear power plant’s control room is where engineers shut down the reactor’s cooling pumps as part of a safety test in April 1986, which led to an explosion that killed at least 28 people in the immediate aftermath and contaminated the surrounding area. The room, located under a 36,000-tonne steel containment arch, still has its original display screens and panels of command buttons. Chernobyl, Ivankiv Raion, Kiev Oblast, Ukraine, Europe

RMGE4F8R–Bill Fecych shut down the reactor for the last time on 5 January 1973, as Dale McCutheon, Dan Gardner, George Gowan, and others looked on. Employees had gathered in the Plum Brook auditorium for an announcement by Lewis Center Director Bruce Lundin, little expecting to hear the news that Plum Brook would be closed. Two hours later, stunned employees crowded into the reactor control room and just after 2 p.m., witnessed the final shutdown of the Plum Brook reactor. Image # : C-2003-847

RMGE4H86–Identical Remote Area Monitoring System (RAMS) detector location panels, found in both the health-safety operations office and the reactor control room, and other monitoring equipment allowed operators to monitor radiation sensors located throughout the facility and to scram the reactor instantly if necessary. The color of the indicator lights corresponds with the elevation of the detectors in the various buildings. The reactor could also shut itself down automatically if monitors detected any sudden irregularities. Image #: C-2001-01150
