Piqua Nuclear Generating Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piqua Nuclear Power Facility was a nuclear power plant which operated in Piqua, Ohio in the United States. The plant contained a 45.5-megawatt (thermal) organically cooled and moderated nuclear reactor. The Piqua facility was built and operated between 1963 and 1966 as a demonstration project by the Atomic Energy Commission. The facility ceased operation in 1966. It was dismantled between 1967 and 1969, and the radioactive coolant and most other radioactive materials were removed. The remaining radioactive structural components of the reactor were entombed in the reactor vessel under sand and concrete.
The facility's buildings are now used as a warehouse and office space for the City of Piqua.
