Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station, Wisconsin

The Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station is a closed nuclear plant located in Carlton, Wisconsin, adjacent to Lake Michigan, once the source of its cooling water. The plant had a 566MW pressurized water reactor, which operated from 1973 until 2013, when owner/operator Dominion Energy announced it would be closing the plant due to its inability to compete with lower cost natural gas. By 2017, all of the plant's spent fuel had been transferred to an on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The current schedule calls for decommissioning to begin in 2069, followed by the plant's final closure in 2073.
