Friends of Idaho Public Television, Idaho State Historical Society and the USS IDAHO Commissioning Committee Present
Idaho's Nuclear Navy
In the early fifties, the U.S. Navy, under the leadership of Admiral Hyman Rickover, was hard at work developing a nuclear-powered engine to drive submarines and aircraft carriers. The efforts created the Naval Reactors Facility in the desert outside Idaho Falls. Idaho Experience working with the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office will tell Idaho's part in creating the U.S. Nuclear Navy. Then, stick around for a Q&A panel after watching the documentary from Idaho Public Television.
