That's one of them. Remarkable engineering and proof that atomic
power can be done sanely.
Umm... No. A research reactor in a pool bears almost no resemblence

IIRC, the first reactor was built on a tennis (badminton?) court.
Was the court restored to its former usage afterwards, and does it
still exist?
