Zion Nuclear Power Plant

[minernut333]

I went fishing yesterday out of Winthrop Harbor. My father called the Zion Nuclear Power Plant "The Cooker". Thinking about Zion, if it's shut down then why are the Union Pacific Spur Tracks into Zion Active I just looked on Google Maps and noticed new track work . I remember that those tracks were cut.

They might be getting ready to start hauling the contaminated material out of there. I know when they dismantled the Charlevoix MI nuke plant part of the reactor and associated building was loaded onto trucks then hauled over the GLC and loaded on flat cars. If the tracks are now back in....thy might be getting things in place to start taking parts of it out of there.

Thanks for the information. I really did wish they didn't shut down the nuclear power plant. If you need any information I'm always open for help.

The switch into the Zion nukie was re-installed during summer of 2012, IIRC July or early August. Shortly after, the UP brought about 30-40 cars to the plant. THey are decommissioning the plant.
