Satsop Nuclear Power Plant.

This is from our recent visit to the Abandon Satsop Nuclear Power Plant.
The purpose of this visit was for planning the new Endless Sunder music video.

The Tower we are in is the North Tower and like the rest of the plant was never finished.

WNP-3 and WNP-5 (together also known as the Satsop Nuclear Power Plant) were, along with the WNP-2 (currently known as the Columbia Generating Station) and WNP-1 and WNP-4, two of the five nuclear power plants on which construction was started by the Washington Public Power Supply System in 1977. The construction of WNP-3 and WNP-5 were halted in 1983 and only WNP-2 was completed and put into operation.

The reactors were planned to be pressurized water reactors. WNP-3 and WNP-5 were being manufactured by Combustion Engineering.
WNP-3 and WNP-5 are located on 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) on the Satsop Site near Elma in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Today the site hosts the Satsop Development Park.

The project was started by the Washington Public Power Supply System in 1977. The construction of the facility was halted in 1983 due to cost overruns, along with a slowing of electricity demand growth, led to cancellation of two plants and a construction halt on two others. Moreover, the agency defaulted on $2.25 billion of municipal bonds, which is still the largest municipal bond default in U.S. history. The monumental court case which followed took nearly a decade to fully resolve.

Awesome. Shame they never finished the plant. It could have produced a tremendous amount of electricity for everything from Portland to Bellingham.

my brother-in-law works at BMT northwest in the huge building between the towers. the inside is massive and the sub-levels are just as amazing.
