Black Fox Nuclear Power Plant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Black Fox Nuclear Power Plant was a proposed nuclear power plant by the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) in May 1973. The facility was to be built approximately 3 miles outside of Inola, Oklahoma, and encompass the use of two General Electric (GE) Boiling Water Reactors. After nine years of court and legal challenges by a citizens' political action group, all plans were abandoned in 1982 and no complex would be built. It was the only nuclear power plant in the US to be canceled by a combination of legal and citizen action after construction had started. As of 2005, no plans are in place to restart construction.[1]
