... Although designed initially as an experimental facility, it ran continuously for 30 years, producing electrical energy and copious amounts of data important to the design of fast reactors and fast-reactor safety, as well as demonstrating the feasibility of onsite fuel recycling. Harry's technical and leadership skills contributed significantly to the success of EBR-II.
