The unit is one of Entergy's nine nu- clear power facilities; it went on line in May, 1974, with Unit #1, followed by Unit #2 in 1978. Nuclear One pro- vides 56% of the total energy demand from Entergy Arkansas's 700,000 cus- tomers. Its opening jump-started Ar- kansas' use of nuclear power for elec- tricity generation, providing a clean alternative to fossil fuels. (Since 9/11, tours of U. S. energy-related facilities such as power plants, hydroelectric dams, and nuclear facilities have been severely curtailed.) OLLI participants will be given an educational guided tour of the Nuclear One plant, includ- ing video, lecture, and a trip into the duplicate control room used to train operators and technicians.
