The world’s first peacetime use of nuclear power occurred when the US government switched on an experimental reactor near Arco, Idaho in 1951. Arco became the first city in the world to be lit by atomic power four years later. I spent a few hours touring the plant housing this reactor. I deliberately underexposed this image, abstracting some of the piping in the plant as a mysterious and haunted reminder of this event. By showing less, I’ve tried to say more.
