Similar Reactors
The X-10 reactor was similar in design to the Windscale reactors in Cumbria, England, which were constructed for the British Ministry of Supply and later operated by the Atomic Weapons Establishment. One of the two reactors at Windscale caught fire in 1957.
One reactor of similar design as the X-10 reactor is still in operation today, the Belgian BR-1 reactor in Mol, Belgium. It is used for scientific purposes, such as neutron activation analysis, neutron physics experiments and calibration of nuclear measurement devices.

“In the middle of the next century, when the literary establishment will reflect the multicultural makeup of this country and not be dominated by assimiliationists with similar tastes, from similar backgrounds, and of similar pretensions, Langston Hughes will be to the twentieth century what Walt Whitman was to the nineteenth.”
