| Notes | President John F. Kennedy attended the ground breaking (9/26/63) of the N-Reactor, a graphite-moderated nuclear reactor constructed during the Cold War and operated by the U.S. Government at the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington. It was a one-of-a-kind design in the U.S., being both a power reactor used to feed the civilian electrical power grid via the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS), and a plutonium production reactor for nuclear weapons. (Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_reactor)
In his opening words the President refers to U.S. Senators Henry M. Jackson and Warren G. Magnuson and to Governor Albert D. Rosellini of Washington; Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall; U.S. Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah; U.S. Representatives AI Ullman of Oregon and Chet Holifield of California; and Atomic Energy Commissioner Gerald F. Tape. (Gerald Frederick 1915-2005)
