Kewaunee Power Station
The Kewaunee Power Station is a decommissioned nuclear power plant, located on a 900 acres (360 ha) plot in the town of Carlton, Wisconsin, 27 miles (43 km) southeast of Green Bay, Wisconsin in Kewaunee County, and south of the city of Kewaunee. KPS was the third nuclear power plant built in Wisconsin, and the 44th built in the United States. Due to falling electricity prices resulting from the falling price of natural gas, the plant ceased operation May 7, 2013.In 2022, a sale of the plant was approved by the federal government. This was controversial because the sale affects what will be done with the trust money previously saved for the decommissioning, and who is responsible for any cost overruns. Although all fuel had already been placed in dry storage as of 2017, as of 2022 some radioactive waste still needed to be disposed of and the facility had not been dismantled.
