Satsop Nuclear Site -- WPPS

USA / Washington / Satsop /
 interesting place, nuclear power plant, unfinished / unbuilt
This is the never-started nuclear powerplant site. It now has businesses that lease the buildings, artwork on the tanks and buildings, and beautiful landscaping. The two cooling towers are a landmark in the area. A local legend says that because the mountain is sacred native land, and a burial ground, that it will never host destructive technologies. There is also a gas-fired plant nearby that was never completed, and is being dismantled.

The two reactors on this site were planned to be called WNP-3 and WNP-5 (based off the company name Washington Public Power Supply System).

  • Well than, by all means lets cut the power lines that feed the near by cities, towns and homes, because we sure wouldn't want to make any of the nearby residents suffer from 'destructive technologies'. Enjoy the dark.
