About
The Kewaunee nuclear plant occupies a 900-acre site in Carlton, Wisconsin, about 35 miles southeast of Green Bay. Management of the site was consolidated with the Point Beach units. Kewaunee was the fourth nuclear plant built in Wisconsin, and the 44th built in the United States. In June 2005, the plant was acquired by Dominion from its previous owners, Wisconsin Public Service Corporation and Alliant Energy. The Virginia-based company owns the North Anna and Surry plants in its home state, and acquired one other out-of-state plant, Millstone (in Connecticut). [1]
Kewaunee, Dominion's fourth nuclear station, generates 556 megawatts of electricity from its single unit. That's enough to meet the needs of 140,000 homes.
The station began commercial operation in 1974. Dominion acquired the station in July 2005.
Kewaunee is located in Carlton, Wisconsin, on Lake Michigan about 35 miles southeast of Green Bay. The exact translation of "Kewaunee" is uncertain, but is commonly believed to be a Native American word meaning "river of the lost." [2]
