Summary

The Plum Brook Reactor Facility construction began when crews excavated a hole in the ground for the pressure tank. The tank extended approximately thirty-two feet underground. The steel containment vessel, which was more than 100 feet high (fifty-five feet above grade and fifty-six below grade), surrounded the reactor tank area and the surrounding quadrants and canals. It was designed to prevent any radioactivity from being released if an accident were to occur in the reactor. This safety precaution was essential because of the nearby communities. Many other large reactors did not have such safety features. For example, the Materials Test Reactor in Idaho Falls had no shield because small amounts of contamination could be released into the atmosphere without endangering the public...Image # : C-2003-830

Two 143-square-meter health clinics are taking shape for the Iraqi Army at Taji Military Base in Iraq. The East Clinic is 75% complete with the crew there installing electrical lights and ceiling tiles. At the West Clinic, floor tiles are being set in place. At both clinics, final grade around the structures is being worked. The $3 million contract was awarded July 7, 2004, with an expected completion date of Aug. 25, 2005. A crew of about 35 Iraqis are working at both projects. Each health clinic will feature five exam rooms and one isolation room. (U.S. Army photo by Norris Jones) (Released)

Even though modern mass transit buses have returned to service in many areas of the city, cleanup crews continue to removes debris from what was a restaurant on "The Boulevard". A place where a major battle line once existed, nothing was spared during the recent civil war. Although most buildings in other parts of the city, have been patched up or repaired, some locations are so severely ravaged that reconstruction will take longer if at all. This contracted crew used equipment of the European Administration (EAUM) organization. In accordance with the Dayton Accords, under which Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR (the multi-national peace mission in Bosnia) functions, the provision of a secure...
