A photo tour of the Shoreham Nuclear Plant
Just thought some of you might be interested in this photo gallery I found on the LI Press website. Apparently one of their reporters was allowed to tour the facility and take a bunch of photos. I had never seen the inside of the place and it’s been fully decommissioned since 1994. There are several pages of pics, so don’t miss the little links to the other pages at the bottom of the page. The Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was finished in 1985, it was forced to close without ever generating any electricity when safety concerns were raised by anti-nuclear groups over the proposed evacuation plan after the Three Mile Island incident in Harrisburg, PA. In 2005, LIPA dedicated two 200,000 kWh wind turbines on the grounds of the facility and connected them to the grid. The nuclear reactor would have generated 820 MW.
