Talk:Somerset Power Plant

Canceled nuclear plants

Since there seems to be little to say about these canceled plants individually, perhaps it'd be better to merge them onto a 'List of' page?

Wikipedia's coverage of the history of nuclear power is really quite weak [1]. Rather than try and collapse information about cancelled plants into a list article, I would like to encourage editors to take this chance to expand on the start which has been made. Given that we are looking at the 1970s, I would expect that there wouldn't be a lot on the internet, which tends to have more recent coverage. But books written during that era should cover these major nuclear plant proposals. Perhaps that is where we should look, with a view to expanding these articles. And I have today ordered three books from the university library which should be useful. Johnfos (talk) 04:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Closed in 2010?

I have no first-hand knowledge about this power plant, but a bit of Googling gives me the impression that it is closed, and has been closed for over two years.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable about US power plants can update the article? RenniePet (talk) 00:56, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I've actually driven by the site today, and the plant is definitely closed. Not a good sign that a Wikipedia article can be so out of date ... RenniePet (talk) 01:40, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
