From nuggets to nuclear power
... transportation paces a Great State's growth
Next year, at Fort Greely, a few pounds of enriched uranium will develop sufficient power
and heat for hundreds of homes, doing the job of millions of pounds of coal or diesel fuel.
During the Gold Rush tons of nuggets were transported by Alaska Steamship Company.
Today a new ore is in the headlines-but The Alaska Line continues to play a vital role.
Last month the basic components for Alaska’s first nuclear power-generating plant were
brought in by Alaska Steam. With more calls at more Alaska ports than all other ocean
carriers combined, The Alaska Line’s broad experience makes it the logical choice when
there’s a transportation job to be done.
