Nuclear plant of Shoreham

The Nuclear plant of Shoreham , also called the Nuclear plant of the River Wading was a power station with ebullient water (BWR) built by General Electric and located on the Wading river, in the Comté of Suffolk on Long Island in the State of New York, with 60 miles in the east of Manhattan.

Its history

  • Shoreham (BWR): initially 540 MWe, then 820 MWe.
The power station was designed by the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) and was built between 1973 and 1984. This power station had a binocular: Millstone 1 (660 MWe), ordered the same year for Long Island Sound in the Connecticut and brought into service in 1998.

After the accident of Three Miles Island and the protests antinuclear, the power station of Shoreham took delay and she saw her costs climbing until doing one of constructions of the most expensive power stations of them. Finally this power station forever started its production, because of the absence of signature of the representatives of the Governor of New York on his plan of emergency evacuation, and of the absence of authorization by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

the power station of Shoreham was displaced in 1994.
