Imetto Da / athwa Take a trip into your future at the push-button paradise of the Nuclear Information Center at Hartsville, site of the State’s first commercial nuclear power facility. Over 8,000 persons have visited this new tourist attrac tion in South Carolina since Ca rolina Power & Light Company opened the Center in April of 1968. The Center was formally de dicated May 17th by Lieutenant Governor John C. West. It’s purpose is to further public un derstanding of nuclear energy and how it generates electric power. A delight for school groups, the Center is located at the Robin son Electric Generating Plant be tween Hartsville and McBee off highway 151. It overlooks the site of Carolina Power & Light’s 700,- umt now under construction and scheduled for completion in 1970. Inside the $200,000 western ce dar and brick structure are e- laborate exhibits that tell the story of energy, graphically showing how the atom has been harnessed to do the work of man. Push a button and the ex hibits come alive with light, sound and motion to unravel a mystery that will be part of the everyday lives of our grandchil dren. The tale begins in the 100- seat auditorium of the Center, where manager Walter E. Sel- kinghaus uses rear-screen pro jection to show slides and mo vies that explore the mysteries of the atom and trace the his tory of energy. Selkinghaus was formerly administrative engin eer with Carolinas-Virginia Nu clear Power Associates which built and operated the prototype nuclear reactor at Parr, S.C. Here you’ll see how the nu cleus of the atom is split. Ener getic youngsters can generate e- nough electricity to light a 60- watt bulb by pedaling the bicy- :le exhibit, one of the 21 color ful displays found at the Center. A nuclear reactor model de monstrates the conversion of the energy of the atom into elec tric power. A scale mosel of a nuclear power plant shows vi sitors how the $90 million nu clear reactor will look when housed in its 18-story dome-like structure. Through a nearby ob servation window you can see workers con true ting the huge new plant several hundred yards a- way. Other exhibits in the Center’s Exhibit Hall include a ton of coal in a large clear plastic cube. Scooped out of the cube is a small square displaying the pin head amount of nuclear fuel need ed to do the work of the ton of coal. The Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Special tours by schools, civic clubs and other groups may be arranged by contacting the In formation Center.

Elmer R. Baker, owner of W.E. Baker & Son contracting firm of Whitmire, said there will be approximately 16 workmen on the Job. Foundation work began Feb. 6 after the $236,930 contract was awarded Jan. 8. The old church sanctuary was demolished about one week after the contract was awarded. The 16,000-square foot building will be constructed at the corn er ofBroad and Ferguson streets, site of the previous sanctuary. While construction is under way, the congregation is holding ser vices in the Hodges Hall build ing adjacent to the construction site.
