Shadow Mountain Dam

Shadow Mountain Dam is a zoned earth-fill dam on the Colorado River in Grand County, Colorado. Constructed between 1944 and 1946, the Shadow Mountain Dam creates the Shadow Mountain Lake, with a structural height of 63 feet (19 m) and a drainage area of 187 square miles (480 km2). Shadow Mountain Lake is a holding reservoir for water pumped up from Lake Granby just to the south through the Granby Pumping Plant and Canal. Shadow Mountain Lake is connected by a short channel to the natural Grand Lake. The west portal of the Alva B. Adams Tunnel is located on Grand Lake. The Adams Tunnel diverts west slope water to the east slope of the Rocky Mountains for use in agriculture and to serve the populated areas of Colorado, including Denver.

Slumgullion Earthflow

The Slumgullion Earthflow is a remnant of a landslide in the San Juan Mountains in Hinsdale County, Colorado. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1983. It is also a Colorado Natural Area and an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. The earthflow, a slow-moving landslide, crawled down the valley about 700 years ago creating the 4-mile-long (6.4 km) and 2,000-foot-wide (610 m) wide mass. The earthflow lies a few miles southeast of Lake City. The landmark site covers 1,291 acres (522 ha) and is owned and managed by the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. It is "a striking example of mass wasting (the movement of large masses of earth material)." The Lake Fork of the Gunnison River was dammed by the earthflow, creating Lake San Cristobal. A second earthflow has been moving continuously for about 300 years over older, stable rock. It moves at a rate of about 7 meters (23 ft) per year. The area is a habitat for elk and deer. It is crossed by Colorado Highway 149, the principal highway of the area connecting Lake City with Creede. References

Julesburg station

The Union Pacific Railroad Julesburg Depot, at 210 W. First St. in Julesburg, Colorado, and also known as the Depot Museum, was built in 1930. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a brick, one-story building built as a standard Union Pacific Railroad "combination-type" depot, i.e. handling passengers as well as freight and express shipments. The depot was hit by a tornado on June 6, 1947, that badly damaged the building; it was repaired. In 1974 it was moved a short distance and turned into a museum. It was listed on the National Register in 2004. It was deemed significant for its role in transportation and the economic growth of Julesburg, and architecturally for its design, materials, and workmanship which are preserved despite the building having been moved a short distance.

WWV (Zeitzeichensender)

WWV ist das Rufzeichen eines amerikanischen Kurzwellensenders zur Verbreitung der offiziellen US-Uhrzeit UTC mittels Zeitzeichen. Der Sender arbeitet auf fünf runden Frequenzen im Dauerbetrieb. Inhalt der Sendungen Die amerikanische Behörde National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) verbreitet mit dem Sender WWV von Fort Collins im US-Bundesstaat Colorado Zeitzeichen auf den Kurzwellen-Frequenzen 2,5, 5, 10, 15 und 20 MHz. Zur Ausstrahlung wird der IRIG Timecode im Format IRIG H verwendet. Das Signal kann auch unter der Telefonansage +1-303-499-7111 abgehört werden. Außerdem werden jede Stunde zu definierten Zeitpunkten Wetterwarnungen für die Seeschifffahrt, der Status des GPS sowie geophysikalische Warnungen zur Funkausbreitung verbreitet. Der Vorteil der Kurzwellen (die u. a. auch russische und chinesische Zeitzeichensender benutzen) ist die gute Reflexion an Ionosphären-Schichten, was dem Zeitsignal eine große, allerdings etwas wechselnde Reichweite gibt. Langwellensender WWVB An demselben Standort wird auf der Frequenz 60 kHz ein Langwellensender unter dem Rufzeichen WWVB betrieben. Kurzwellensender WWVH auf Hawaii Für den Pazifik betreibt das NIST außerdem einen Kurzwellensender mit dem Rufzeichen WWVH in Kekaha auf der Insel Kauaʻi in Hawaii. Die Sendefrequenzen sind 2,5 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz und 15 MHz. Zur Unterscheidung der Aussendung von WWV auf denselben Frequenzen verwendet WWVH eine weibliche Stimme. Dieses Signal kann auch unter der Telefonansage +1-808-335-4363 abgehört werden.

Das Kernkraftwerk Fort St. Vrain (englisch Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station) mit einem Hochtemperaturreaktor lag nahe Platteville im US-Bundesstaat Colorado. Geschichte Der Reaktor in Fort St. Vrain war einer von zwei Hochtemperaturreaktoren in den USA. Baubeginn war am 1. September 1968. Die Leistung des Reaktors betrug 342 Megawatt. Am 11. Dezember 1976 nahm der Reaktor den Betrieb auf. Nach der Stilllegung im Jahre 1989 wurde das Gebäude bis 1992 abgerissen. Der 174 Mio. USD teure Rückbau war 1997 abgeschlossen und auf dem Gelände wurde ein Gaskraftwerk errichtet. Daten des Reaktorblocks Das Kernkraftwerk Fort St. Vrain hatte einen Block: Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Planta de energía nuclear Fort St. Vrain

La planta de Fort Saint Vrain Generating Station es una instalación de generación de electricidad alimentada por gas natural. Está situada cerca de la población de Platteville en la zona norte de Colorado. Tiene una capacidad de 720MW y es propiedad y está gestionada por Xcel Energy (anteriormente la Public Service Company of Colorado). Entró en funcionamiento en esta forma en 1996. Inicialmente, fue construida como la primera (y única) planta de energía nuclear y funcionó como tal de 1976 a 1989. Fue el único reactor refrigerado por gas a alta temperatura (HTGR) de Estados Unidos. El refrigerador primario era el helio que no podía absorber radioactividad cuando era irradiado por neutrones y que calentaba el a través de generadores de vapor. El ciclo del combustible del reactor era el de uranio-torio y su potencia de salida era de 300MW. Los elementos de combustible tenían sección de cruz hexagonal y su densidad de energía era lo suficientemente baja para que una pérdida del refrigerante primario no desencadenara un sobrecalentamiento del núcleo del reactor. Los operadores hubieran dispuesto de varias horas para apagar el reactor antes que pudieran producirse daños en el núcleo. Esta planta nuclear fue propuesta en marzo de 1965 y la petición fue presentada a la Comisión de Energía Atómica en octubre de 1966. La construcción se inició en 1968. El edificio de contención tiene un aspecto rectangular en lugar de los edificios cilíndricos abovedados de otros reactores. Los costes de construcción alcanzaron los 200 millones de dólares. Las pruebas iniciales empezaron en 1972 u la primera energía comercial fue distribuida en diciembre de 1976. La instalación fue, no obstante, decepcionante, y nunca consiguió levantar expectación. Experimentó muchos problemas recurrentes con fluctuaciones de la energía a través de su historia, requiriendo constantes apagados. Otros problemas incluyen el mal funcionamiento de una barra de control y los escapes de agua en el núcleo del reactor. Como consecuencia, la planta resultaba demasiado costosa en su funcionamiento y fue cerrada en 1989. La desinstalación y retirada del combustible se completó en 1992. La primera turbina de gas natural se instaló en 1996. Otras dos turbinas se instalaron en el 2001. Enlaces externos (en inglés): Historia de Fort Saint Vrain
Centrale de Fort Saint-Vrain

La Centrale de Fort Saint-Vrain est une centrale électrique au gaz naturel située près de la ville de Platteville dans le nord du Colorado aux États-Unis. Elle a été une centrale nucléaire avant d'être convertie au gaz. Historique La centrale au gaz actuelle a une capacité de 720 MWe, l'exploitant et propriétaire est Xcel Energy qui était auparavant la compagnie de service public du Colorado. Elle est exploitée sous cette forme depuis 1996. Auparavant, cette centrale a été la première et la seule centrale nucléaire construite au Colorado. Elle a été exploitée de 1976 à 1989 avec un réacteur de capacité de 300 MWe. Ce réacteur était également le seul réacteur de puissance à haute température refroidi au gaz (HTGR) construit aux États-Unis. Le réfrigérant primaire était l'hélium qui ne peut devenir radioactif lorsqu'il est irradié par des neutrons et qui pouvait réchauffer l'eau à travers un générateur de vapeur. Il existe aux États-Unis un autre réacteur à modérateur graphite et caloporteur hélium, Peach Bottom, qui était un réacteur expérimental. Ce réacteur nucléaire n'a jamais fonctionné avec satisfaction, divers incidents se sont produits durant l'exploitation. Comme l'exploitation devenait trop couteuse il a été décidé de le fermer en 1989 et de le convertir en turbine au gaz naturel ce qui a été fait en 1996. Depuis deux autres turbines à gaz ont été construites en 2001.

Summit Lake (Colorado)

Der Summit Lake [ˈsʌmɪt leɪk] („Gipfelsee“) ist ein See im US-Bundesstaat Colorado – rund 60 km südwestlich der Landeshauptstadt Denver in der Front Range der Rocky Mountains gelegen. Er liegt am Mount Evans Scenic Byway zwischen Idaho Springs und dem Mount Blue Sky (ehemals Mount Evans, 4348 m). Im Jahr 1924 wurde der im Clear Creek County gelegene See von der Stadt Denver erworben und in das städtische Gebirgsparksystem integriert. Als einer von elf National Natural Landmarks Colorados ist er auf dem Mount Evans Scenic Byway ein beliebtes Fotomotiv; da aber wandern nicht möglich und schwimmen im See nicht erlaubt ist, bietet das Angeln am Seeufer die einzige Freizeitaktivität. Der Summit Lake gehört zu den höchstgelegenen Seen der Vereinigten Staaten – nur zwölf (allein neun in Colorado) liegen höher. Summit Lake Park Der Summit Lake Park umfasst ein rund 65 Hektar großes Gebiet um den Summit Lake und umfasst sowohl arktische als auch alpine Tundralandschaft. Beim Grund östlich des Sees handelt es sich um Permafrostboden, welcher die Trockenlegung der Gegend verhindert. Während des Sommers wird der Park von Wildblumen überdeckt, von denen einige sonst nirgendwo außerhalb des Polarkreises zu finden sind.

Summit Lake Park

Summit Lake Park is a park located along Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway about 64 miles (100 km) west of Denver, Colorado. The park is 160 acres (0.65 km2) in size and contains alpine tundra. Land to the east of the lake is in a state of permafrost which helps to prevent drainage of the area. During the summer, the park is filled with wildflowers, some of which have not been found anywhere else outside of the Arctic Circle. The park is named after Summit Lake, the headwaters of Bear Creek. Summit Lake Summit Lake is a tarn which sits at 12,836 feet (3,912 m) elevation in a glacial cirque on the north face of Mount Blue Sky and the east face of Mount Spalding. To the north, there is a col (12,855 feet/3918 m elevation) looking down into the chain of two cirques holding the Chicago Lakes at the headwaters of Chicago Creek. By one count that includes several unnamed lakes, Summit Lake is the 13th highest lake in the United States. In 1915, the USGS reported that Summit Lake was the highest lake in Colorado, at 12,740 feet. Later secondary sources occasionally report it as the highest lake in the United States. The land was acquired by Denver in 1924 and incorporated into the Denver Mountain Parks system. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in April 1965.

Greeley Central High School

Greeley Central High School is the oldest of three public high schools in Greeley, Colorado, United States in Greeley-Evans School District 6. It was founded in 1880 as Greeley High School History Formerly known as Greeley High, Greeley Central High School had its start in the late 1800s. The school's current building was completed in 1927 at a cost of $350,000. It is the fourth structure to be known as Greeley High School. At the time, 14th Avenue was at the far western edge of the city, and this site was across the street from what had been a city dump. Local Architect Sidney G. Frazier designed the school to resemble a French chateau. It is considered an example of late Gothic Revival. Extensive remodels in 1958, 1974, 1994, and 2000 dramatically changed the interior and the campus, but the front remained virtually the same and has become known as "The Castle". The school building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The name of the school was changed in 1965 to Greeley Central, under the leadership of principals Paul S. Gillespie, Robert S. Gilcrest, Wendell T. Blight, Wendell K. Beard, Henry C. Jensen, Wendell Wilson, Robert W. Turner, Franklin H. Bressler, Rex W. Hester, Cloyd MacBernd, John Lepetit, John "JC" Christensen, Jon Helwick and Mary Lauer. In honor of the school's mascot, 14th Avenue in front of the school was renamed "Wildcat Way" in a 2004 ceremony by city, school and student leaders.

Gully Homestead

The Gully Homestead is a former homestead located at 200 S. Chambers Road in Aurora, Colorado, United States. Thomas Gully, his wife Temperance, and their four children came to Colorado in 1862. Thomas, an Irish immigrant, moved to the Colorado Territory to work in the mines, but decided to try his hand at farming shortly after. The Gullys claimed 11,000 acres near the Toll Gate Creek and built a small log home. It operated as a ranch by his descendants until the 1950s. The home also served as a community center and a polling place. The farm house, believed to be the oldest home in Aurora, consists of two parts; the kitchen (ca. 1866), and the main house, believed to be built in 1870. The two sections are connected. The home sat vacant from the early 1950s until 1978. It was determined to be sitting in a floodplain. The developer who owned the house donated it to the city with the stipulation the house would be moved. It was relocated to its current site, in the DeLaney Farm Historic District, along with a chicken coop in 1982, and restored the home in 1983. The City of Aurora established the area as a park. The house came into ownership by the city of Aurora in 1978. The City restored the home and it is open for tours and school trips. Several structures stand on the property, including the 1902 Round Barn, a 1949 shed, a privy and the Delaney house, ca. 1890. The Coal Creek School House (1920) sits on the edge of the site.
