"Jay Honeck" wrote in message ups.com... Actually the reactors at Zion were shut down many years ago. Nope, Zion is permanently mothballed. http://www.exeloncorp.com/ourcompani...ng_station.htm Physically it could be recommisioned, with todays energy woes who knows. Never say never. I was presuming that the dual nuke plants we see every time we fly to our home town of Racine, WI, was Zion? The cooling towers are visible east/northeast Rockford, IL. If conditions are right, the columns of steam are visible from 70 miles out. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Zion station is directly south of Racine and has no cooling towers. It used Lake Michigan for cooling. Byron station is just southwest of Rockford, it has 2 cooling towers just under 500' tall, maybe thats the one you see? I have used it many times as a fix when going to Rockford and calling approach. Marty
