	Calder Hall Nuclear Power Station
		Calder Hall at Windscale, or Sellafield as the authorities renamed it in 1985, produced weapons-grade plutonium, but it was also the world's first commercial nuclear power station, connected to the national grid in 1956 after construction began in 1953.
		The reactor at Calder Hall was a prototype of the Magnox gas cooled reactor and over time three more reactors were constructed and operated successfully for 47 years.
		Calder Hall was closed down after almost 50 years, by which point it was the world's oldest nuclear reactor.

		Calder (1898-1976) was an engineer by training, and the works on view epitomize his technical mastery of industrial materials.
		The stabiles on view throughout City Hall Park were made between 1957 and 1976, a period when Calder had devoted himself to making outdoor sculpture on a grand scale from bolted sheet steel.
		Calder's many permanent public sculptures--in Chicago, Paris, Mexico City, Montreal, Jerusalem, and other cities all over the world--are some of the most beloved and important works of the 20th century.

		Calder Hall is the oldest Station in the fleet of the 11 Magnox Power Stations.
		Calder Hall was the first commercial Nuclear Power Station in the UK and its four reactors are of a Magnox design – the term comes from the Magnesium Alloy that is used to encase the nuclear fuel.
		Calder Hall at present is in the Care and Maintenance Preparation phase which, in general terms means, we have to place the site into a state where although maintenance will be needed, human intervention is minimised.

		As Calder Hall which employs about 300 people, is already due to close in four years time, there is already speculation and worry on the site that if cost and risk assessments prove too high BNFL could decide to cut its losses and go for an earlier closure.

		Calder Hall is known as a gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor, and uses the nuclear reaction in uranium rods to generate power.
		At its peak, Calder Hall generated four times as much electricity as it did in 1956, although by modern standards its size - 196 megawatts - is considered small.
		Calder Hall closed in 2003, after more than 40 years providing electricity, but three years earlier than planned.

	'The Surreal Calder' Opens At Minneapolis Institute June 11
		In spite of Calder's Surrealist lineage - he was, for example, included in the important 1936 "Exposition surréaliste d'objets" in Paris - he has until now generally been separated from those beginnings and excluded from most exhibitions of Surrealist art.
		Like all Surrealists, Calder was fascinated and inspired by the kind of ethnographic material and exotica that would fill a "cabinet of curiosities" of his time.
		Calder was born July 22, 1898, near Philadelphia, into a family of artists (his grandfather sculpted the famous figure of William Penn atop Philadelphia's City Hall).

	About the LCC
		The Louis Calder Center is the biological Field Station of Fordham University, and supports field research for scientists in region and nationally. The LCC is a protected, forested preserve, but only 45 km north of New York City; no other full-time ecological research field station exists within the metropolitan area.
		The Calder Center is the middle site along a 130 km forest-urbanization transect, the Urban-Rural Gradient Experiment (URGE), and supports the longest running ecological field study of Lyme Disease in the country. Today, the Calder Center is one of the most important assets in Fordham's educational progarm.
		The Calder Center is unique among other well-equipped research stations by offering opportunities to study relatively undisturbed communities near New York City, and affords many urban students their first opportunity to examine the natural world first-hand.

		In fact, it was probably the most expensive way imaginable of keeping the lights on, and it masked the main reason for building Calder Hall - to make plutonium for the nuclear weapons programme, a fact admitted five years later.
		Calder Hall was the first of a series of magnox stations, so-called because the fuel cans were made of magnesium alloy.
		Calder Hall lasted so long partly because its military use meant it was shut down for part of its life.
