The Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant located in East Shoreham, Long Island (a borough of the Outer Lands). Adjacent to the the Long Island Sound, the plant consists of a single boiling water reactor with the power capacity of 820 megawatts. Announced in 1965 as a means to ease power consumption on Long Island, the plant gained little opposition initially. As the anti-nuclear sentiment rose in the United States of America by the 1970s, the completion of the plant was continually delayed over environmental and safety concerns of the power plant (as well as the growing costs to address these concerns).

  • The Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant located in East Shoreham, Long Island (a borough of the Outer Lands). Adjacent to the the Long Island Sound, the plant consists of a single boiling water reactor with the power capacity of 820 megawatts. Announced in 1965 as a means to ease power consumption on Long Island, the plant gained little opposition initially. As the anti-nuclear sentiment rose in the United States of America by the 1970s, the completion of the plant was continually delayed over environmental and safety concerns of the power plant (as well as the growing costs to address these concerns). The partially completed plant was untouched by the attacks on September 25, 1983. Due to the collapse of the United States of America and central Long Island being irradiated by the fallout, construction at the plant ceased. The site remained isolated until the late 1990s when the Outer Lands authorized the completion of the power plant. Construction was finally completed by 2001, with the nuclear reactor coming online in September of that year. Since 2002 the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was become the primary source of power for the boroughs of Block Island and Long Island.
