Satsop Nuclear Power Plant

I went on a visit to the Satsop Nuclear Plant in Gray’s Harbor County, WA this past week. Satop is an unfinished nuclear power plant. Construction began in 1977 with a mistaken idea of a need for more nuclear power and increased finances. Construction was halted in 1983 after a $961 million budget shortfall. The plant was maintained until 1994 ready to be resumed until it was cancelled. The demolition plan was established in 1995, now it’s called Satop Developmental Park. “Because of the controversy surrounding the construction and cancellation of the power plant, the facility is known locally as “whoops”, a play on its official acronym, WPPSS (Washington Public Power Supply System).” The director of the plant wants to host a photography gallery on their property displaying our images. Here are some of the many images from the Park!
