Whether you're for or against nuclear power, the people voted the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station closed in 1989. You can peruse information on the links below to find out why.
We lived fairly-close to it in the 70's and I recall the place in the news often enough, while growing up in a city about 65 miles away---closer, as a radioactive steam cloud flies.
Anyway, with the third worst nearly-catastrophic incident in the nation's history occurring there and seeing what can happen after Chernobyl, I am glad the place is now mostly just the two, big cooling towers. Built during the first phase of construction in 1966, they are what one sees for miles around the prairies southeast of Sacramento, California.
The area around the old station is a park now. It's a good one, too. After checking things on google earth, I thought I'd go there with the camera.
Thanks for your time and support!
