If you have not heard yet let me tell you. The Kewanee nuclear power plant is being shut down. The owners ,Dominion, has decided to shut down the power plant next year after failed attempts of trying to sell the plant failed. The news of the plant closing was a bit of a shock to many people including yours truly. This week they had made the announcement and this past Tuesday they started to lay out the process of shutting down the plant that powers a lot of homes throughout North East Wisconsin. The plant closing will leave 650 people without jobs and many are concerned about how this dismantling process will effect the environment around Kewanee. The uranium used in the plant will remain onsite though they have said. It is sad that this has to happen but who knows what will happen in the time that it is still open.
