Nuclear Cooling Tower Imploded
// May 25th, 2006 // My Stuff
Knowing that The Bison has an obsession with nuclear whatnot, I figured I should blog this video purely so I’d remember to show it to him. Most entertaining to me is the delay in hearing the explosion from when you first see the tower begin to implode.
Apparently on May 21st the only cooling tower of the Trojan Nuclear Plant in Rainier, Oregon was imploded. This is the first step in a multi-year decommissioning project. The plant has been shutdown since 1993 after a cracked steam tube released radioactive gas.
There are some great old promotional photos of the plant you should check out as well.

SONA COOLING TOWERS is into manufacturing of FRP Cooling Towers. Since the inception, we constantly provide new solutions and applications in recalculating cooling tower systems to meet the requirement of rapidly advancing technology. SONA COOLING TOWERS highest quality products have been designed to provide unique solution with significant saving in energy consumption and cost associated with downtime for schedule maintenance.
In this day and age the principle of the transmission of the heat is used in a more refined way from the methodical and technical point of view in the heat exchanger and in the cooling towers, that are always in function thanks to the due maintenance, taking advantage of the evaporative mass transferal, so that water gives part of its energy to the air, as a result lowering its temperature.
