Satsop, the nuclear plant that was never finished
1983
Satsop Business Park, near Elma, Washington
Two nuclear reactors, WNP-3 and WNP-5, were started here by the Washington Public Power Supply System and never finished. WNP-5 was cancelled in 1982 and WNP-3 stopped in 1983 at about three quarters built, as the estimated cost of the system's five plant program rose from $4.1 billion to $24 billion. In 1983 it defaulted on $2.25 billion of bonds, the largest municipal default in US history at the time. The site is now a business park, and both cooling towers still stand.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
