X-10 Reactor

 * Reason:The image shows 2 workers in 1943 loading the second ever nuclear reactor. The image is a little cluttered around the edges, but it is historically significant. I'm not a photography guru by any means, nor am I a regular at FPC so I'm not the best person to judge the technical quality of the image, but my non-expert opinion is that it's excellent.
 * Articles in which this image appears:X-10 Graphite Reactor, Manhattan Project, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

 * Strong Support This is a very iconic and valuable photograph of the X-10 reactor, and although there are minor flaws that might be cloned out, even in it's current state it's VERY feature-able. — raeky  t  23:28, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Support as is. But, if I were to clone out four white spots that seem definitely to be on the negative--the three on the tall dark metal thing that goes up the left hand wall, and the one on the right next to hole 3455--would anyone object to my uploading that over the top? There are other spots, of course, but those are the most prominent. Chick Bowen 22:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
