Full Power!
2,500 megawatts of electricity being produced at Exelon's nuclear power plants in Byron, Illinois (Ogle County). This plant was built by Commonwealth Edison in 1985 (unit 1) and 1987 (unit 2). Each unit houses 1,250 megawatt Westinghouse four-loop pressurized water reactors. To get an idea how large these towers are, consider that this is the view from a rural area approximately 18 miles away. Photo was taken on Goelitz Road outside Esmond Illinois (Dekalb County).
