The local communities in the general vicinity of the late Kewaunee Power Station would be all to familiar with the "fallout" of the cessation of sustained fission. Throw in a big city charlatan from down Chicago way (ironically supposedly a nuclear engineer) who was able to convince the local dairy farmers that the facility was worth approx. 300 times what its approximate actual value is, and the subsequent property taxes paid by the owner of the facility, and you now have said dairy farmers, their neighbors, their schools, yadayada , owing some serious cash. All the sun, wind, and natural gas that could be locally mustered up wont tender that debt.

I heard companies like First Energy don't want to be strapped to DB and Perry now because natural gas to electricity is presently cheaper than nuclear. The fracking window won't last forever, but with consumers buying power from the lowest bidder, they're stuck running/maintaining nuclear power sites with a shrinking revenue stream.  Can you blame them?  It's all about their bottom line.

Those ones are more like what happens when you have strong local political opposition to nuclear power.

Not plant related per se (yet) , but from a few things I've been reading here lately, things aren't sounding too good in the whole Westinghouse, Toshiba, Vogtle, VC Summer situation.
