Plant Hatch

BRACK: Nuclear reactor floating up the Altamaha was an amazing site

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Every now and then, in the course of routine matters, an event takes place that makes you catch your breath. That happened to me about 1970, when Georgia Power Company was building its nuclear Plant Hatch near Baxley.

The reactor vessel for the plant was built in Chattanooga, Tenn., then shipped by barge down the Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers to the Gulf of Mexico, across Florida, and eventually up the Altamaha River to Baxley.
