And yet there sits the foundatuon of what would have been the Marble Hill Nuclear Power plant in northeastern Clark County........nothing but waste 😔
I worked in nuclear power in the Navy. What I have been told is that when they built that plant, they incorrectly laid down the cement and lie about it. Since then, Indiana has not been ok with Nuclear Power. However, the GA did change the law either this or last year. Purdue is in the talks for building a mini reactor which apparently is enough to power most, if not all of West Lafayette. I imagine they will be something like the size of the submarine reactors they put on the Enterprise (there were 8 mini reactors on the ship) or more like the size that were on the Nimitz class (2)
I actually tried to go look at the core foundation last year but was stopped by some workers. I was shocked how huge that place is, we walked for hundreds of yards past concrete foundations, roads, storage tanks..all grown over with vegetation before we were stopped.
Still didn’t reach the core. Now my daughter has moved from the Cincinnati area so there won’t be a reason to drive that way again, unless I just go there for that purpose. And they might be looking for me…🤣.

It is and was a waste, but it is in Jefferson County.
