Power Reactor Demonstration Program

The Power Reactor Demonstration Program (PRDP)[a] was an initiative of the United States Atomic Energy Commission to fund the research and development of nuclear power in the United States.[3] Review and funding of projects took place between 1955 and 1963[4] over three distinct rounds.[1][3]

The program co-funded the following facilities:

Round Facility

(MWe) 		State Commissioned
1 Yankee Rowe PWR 180 Massachusetts 1961
Dresden 1 BWR 197 Illinois 1960
Hallam SGR 75 Nebraska 1963
Fermi 1 SFR 150 Michigan 1966
2 Piqua OCR 45 Ohio 1963
Elk River BWR 22 Minnesota 1964
La Crosse BWR 50 Wisconsin 1969
3 Carolinas-Virginia Tube Reactor PHWR 17 South Carolina 1963
Big Rock Point BWR 67 Michigan 1963
Pathfinder BWR 59 South Dakota 1966
Peach Bottom HTGR 40 Pennsylvania 1966
San Onofre PWR 436 California 1968
Connecticut Yankee PWR 560 Connecticut 1968
