The William H. Zimmer Power Station, located near Moscow, Ohio, was a 1.35-gigawatt (1,351 MW) coal power plant.Planned by Cincinnati Gas and Electric (CG&E) (a forerunner of Duke Energy), with Columbus & Southern Ohio Electric (a forerunner of American Electric Power (AEP)) and Dayton Power & Light (DP&L) as its partners, it was originally intended to be a nuclear power plant.

Ohio Power: Coal: Retired in 1976. Was used as a demonstration for pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) for four years, 1991–1995. Toronto Power Plant: Toronto: Ohio Edison: Coal: Closed in 1993 Trash Burning Power Plant: Columbus: SWACO: Waste-to-energy: Closed in 1994 Avon Lake Power Station: Avon Lake: 680: NRG Energy: Coal: Closed ...
The Perry Nuclear Power Plant is located on a 1,100 acres (450 ha) site on Lake Erie, 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Cleveland in North Perry, Ohio, US. The nuclear power plant is owned and operated by Vistra Corporation. The reactor is a General Electric BWR-6 boiling water reactor design, with a Mark III containment design. The original core ...
It works by pumping water to the steam generators from reserve tanks or a larger body of water (e.g. lake, river, or ocean) to remove decay heat from the reactor by dumping non-radioactive steam to atmosphere or using this steam to drive turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump(s). The auxiliary feedwater system in PWRs are often equipped with ...
The reactor was shut down from 2002 until early 2004 for safety repairs and upgrades. In 2012 the reactor supplied 7101.700 GWh of electricity. [14] In 1973, two more reactors were also ordered from Babcock & Wilcox. However, construction on Units Two and Three never commenced, and these two units were officially canceled in 1981. [15]
The Ohio House passed House Bill 308, 87-10, to label nuclear energy as green energy. Proponents of nuclear energy say it's a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, which emit carbon dioxide and ...
In 1994, the core was replaced with an S6W reactor, designed for the then-new Seawolf-class submarine. The prototype is equipped with an automatic reactor fill system that can flood the reactor with borated water in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident. The S8G reactor is in use in Ohio Class Submarines and has a power rating of 26.1 MW. [5]
