A curious landmark, this green dome poking out from behind the palm trees north of Rincón town behind the Punta Higüero Lighthouse once housed the Caribbean’s first nuclear-powered electricity-generating facility. Back when the Beach Boys led the surfin’ safari, the Boiling Nuclear Superheater Plant (known by the acronym of Bonus) was a prototype of the superheater reactor. The power plant currently opens only by appointment through the Puerto Rican Electric Power Authority.
