A new decorative fountain is one of those projects that make visitors think “only in the Tri-Cities.”

Energy Northwest, marking its 60th anniversary, has worked with local companies to turn a bundle of nuclear fuel rods, called a fuel assembly, into an outdoor fountain that stands 15 feet tall.

It is installed at the Reach museum in Richland, framing a section of the Columbia River visitors see as they walk outside the museum onto the patio.

Water flows down the middle and trickles along the sides of a 13-foot-tall fuel assembly that’s the centerpiece of the fountain.
