It was a one-of-a-kind design in the U.S., being both a plutonium production reactor for nuclear weapons and, from 1966, producing steam to allow production of electricity to feed the civilian power grid via the Washington Public Power Supply System or WPPSS. The power rating of the N-Reactor was 4000 MWt, with a power output of 800 MWe at the power generating plant.
