- denton-scratch 4y agoWP says the plant has been "largely decommissioned". To my reading, that means the same as "not decommissioned yet".
- floxy 4y agoThe reactor and fuel were removed, and the reactor building and cooling tower were demolished. Maybe we need to use another word? Seems like that plant is pining-for-the-fjords.
- duskwuff 4y agoFrom what I'm reading, that just means there are a couple of buildings (offices, warehouses, etc) left on the site. It hasn't been completely demolished yet, but it doesn't sound like there's anything extraordinary preventing that, either.
- ZeroGravitas 4y ago> The concrete casks sit on a heavy concrete pad, located adjacent to the former Trojan Nuclear Plant site. > The ISFSI storage pad is surrounded by a secured area, which is monitored and protected round the clock. Same word games as the other one. The reactor itself is temporarily buried awaiting movement to Yucca Mountain, which has no planned date.
