Big Rock Point Location: MI Operator: Consumers Power Co Configuration: 67 MW BWR Operation: 1962 (ret 1997) Reactor supplier: GE T/G supplier: WH EPC: Bechtel, Chicago Bridge & Iron Quick facts: The plant was built in 29mos for $27mn. It received its operating license from the Atomic Energy Commission on 30 Aug 1962 and was shut down on 27 Aug 1997. The plant was named a Nuclear Historical Landmark in 1991. At the end of Aug 2006, the 475ac site was returned to greenfield condition Photograph

Fermi Location: MI Operator: Detroit Edison Co Configuration: 1,215 MW BWR Operation: 1988 Reactor supplier: GE T/G supplier: English Electric EPC: S&L, Daniel Quick facts: A twin, follow-on unit was planned at the Fermi site during early development. This was shelved, but a plans for a second unit have now been revived. This would be a 1,500-MW ABWR from GE Hitachi. Fermi-1 was a 61-MW FBR completed in 1961 and retired in 1972.

Marble Hill Location: IN Operator: Public Service Indiana Configuration: 2 X 1,130 MW PWR Operation: n/a (terminated 1984) Reactor supplier: WH T/G supplier: WH EPC: Sargent & Lundy Quick facts: This project in New Washington near the Ohio River was first proposed in 1973 with an estimated cost of $700mn. In Aug 1977, PSI received a limited work authorization (LWA) from the NRC at which time, the plant cost was estimated to be $1.4bn In May 1979, allegations of poor concrete construction surfaced. PSI soldiered on but finally terminated Marble Hill in 1984 after spending about $2.8bn. At termination, the plant was variously said to be only 20% complete or at 80% and 40% completion, for Units 1&2 respectively. The final cost estimate at the time was about $7.7bn. Wabash Valley Power Association had a 17% stake in Marble Hill. Marble Hill was a sister plant to Braidwood and Byron in Illinois. Photograph

Midland Location: MI Operator: Consumers Power Co Configuration: 1 X 460 MW, 1 X 811 MW PWR CHP Operation: n/a (terminated 1984) Reactor supplier: B&W T/G supplier: GE EPC: Bechtel Quick facts: This plant was designed as the world's largest nuclear cogen plant for the adjacent Dow chemical works. After an expenditure of about $4bn, work was stopped at about 85% completion in July 1984. The smaller steam set was later integrated into a large combined-cycle. Photograph courtesy of CMS Energy |
Palisades Location: MI Operator: Entergy Corp Configuration: 845 MW PWR Operation: 1971 Reactor supplier: CE T/G supplier: WH EPC: Bechtel Quick facts: Designed and built for Consumers Power Co. Sold for $389mn to Entergy Corp on 11 Apr 2007. As part of the deal, Entergy agreed to sell 100% of the unit's output back to CMS for 15yrs. Photograph courtesy of CMS Energy
