Camp Tuto and Century |

Welcome to the Camp Century and Camp Tuto area....a very special thing in my memory. I was at Camp Tuto , one day, late may of 1981. I asked my self that question: what on earth had they used that big facility to, and just abandoned it!. I decided at that time I would learn everything there was to learn abut the place. Later that day, back on base, I spoked with some other old-timers, and they told me small tales about the Camp Century base on the ice. approx. 138 miles east of Thule air base. The exact position was 77 deg. 10 min. N, 61 deg. 08 min. W. In autumn 1981, I saw a documentary, "City under the ice" recorded 1961 by CBS the series was "The Twentieth Century": Narrator: Walter Cronkite. Now we jump to our days. through my forum I came in contact with old-timers, who actually spent time in camp Century, and camp Tuto. that gave me an idea of letting them, telling the stories about those two places And what a marvelous story I have gained from the old-timers! some of the stories are written so colorful that it will give you the feeling of being there You will find such an icon to the left of the name in the list below. just click on it, and you can read the stories from every each and one..... As heating and electrical power they used a portable nuclear reactor, type PM-2A, Assembled at Camp Century, Greenland. World's first portable plant. The first operating crew of one officer and 18 enlisted specialists built the plant in 77 days from the arrival of the first component. More than 1500 kw electricity plus 1,000,000 Btu/hr steam heat. Completed and operational At 8:52 A.M. on the morning of November 12, 1960. |
