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
to a power reactor.

IIRC, the first reactor was built on a tennis (badminton?) court.

Correct.

Was the court restored to its former usage afterwards, and does it
still exist?

I don't know, and I believe not.
