Trojan Nuclear Power Plant was a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant (Westinghouse design) in the northwest United States, located southeast of Rainier, Oregon, [2] and so far, the only commercial nuclear power plant to be built in Oregon. There was much public opposition to the plant from the design stage.

Oregon ranks third in the nation behind California and Nevada for its geothermal generation potential. [3] The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant generated 1,095 MW of electricity during the years 1976 to 1992. [4] . Decommissioning and removal of …

The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant, located in Columbia County about twelve miles north of St. Helens, began generating power in March 1976. It shut down in January 1993. The saga of Oregon’s only nuclear-generating plant, however, played out over a period longer than the seventeen years it was in operation.

The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant was Oregon’s only commercial nuclear power plant. In 1967, majority owner Portland General Electric announced it was going to build the nuclear power plant at the site of the former Trojan Powder Company, about 40 miles northwest of Portland along the Columbia River in Columbia County.

Trojan was a 1,130-megawatt nuclear-fueled power plant that was decommissioned in 2004.

2025年1月28日 · A new ballot initiative filed Jan. 27 would repeal previously approved obstacles to the development of commercial nuclear power plants in Oregon.

2024年5月20日 · On May 21, 18 years ago, the 500-ft-tall cooling tower at Oregon’s only commercial nuclear power plant imploded into a cloud of dust. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The tale of the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant stretches back to the late 1950s when a cohort of US utility companies — including Portland General Electric — operated an ...

The only nuclear power plant in Oregon opened in 1976, and shut down twenty years early, after cracked steam tubes were discovered in 1992. When it opened, the plant had the largest pressurized water reactor in the world, capable of producing 1,130 megawatts. It cost $450 million to build the plant, and about $250 million to make it go away.

Oregon’s only commercial nuclear power plant is the Trojan plant located in Ranier, Oregon. It was built in 1970 and started commercial operation in 1976. It is owned by Portland General Electric. In 1978, the plant was closed for nine months while modifications were made to improve its earthquake resistance.

The Trojan Nuclear Plant was a single unit pressurized water reactor, rated at 1,130 MW, located on the banks of the Columbia River in northern Oregon. Plant construction began in 1970 with licensed operations beginning in 1976.
