ZEEP Reactor

I have visited the location shown below but have been unable to locate this plaque there.

If anyone locates it and takes a clear close-up digital photo of this plaque
(see location below) and emails it to me (see menu above for address),
I will post it here and give that person credit as the photographer.

Plaque Location

The County of Renfrew
The Town of Deep River
In front of the public information centre at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories, off Highway 17, about 8 km northwest of Chalk River

Plaque Summary from the Ontario Heritage Trust's website

The first nuclear chain reaction in Canada was initiated on September 5, 1945 when the ZEEP reactor went into operation at Chalk River. The small, experimental reactor was named Zero Energy Experimental Pile because it was developed to produce only one watt of heat.
