It's around 6:30 a.m. and I've been hiking for a mile through the woods
in order to come here and explore this massive unfinished nuclear power plant.
The story of this power plant started in the late 1960s when the company for this region
announced it would construct the world's largest nuclear plant in this rural community.
If finished, the plant would have four reactors which would
meet the electricity demand for the 1980s and beyond.
At the time, the residents were in support of the construction,
believing that it would bring more jobs and economic growth to their community.
The construction began in 1975 but after the 1979 accident at the Three Mile Island,
public support for the plant decreased and the majority of residents opposed the construction.
After years of public demonstrations, the company eventually canceled the constructions by 1984.
Nearly two billion dollars was spent on the project and since then,
only one of the cooling towers is fully finished and
four partially completed Reactors sitting empty
and slowly being taken over by nature.
Oh man this goes really deep!
This place is like a death trap.
You need to really watch your step in here.
If you fall in there you're dead.
Man, It feels I'm in a post apocalyptic world.
Man, It's full of trash in here.
Look at all the Hazmat suits.
Look at all the Moss growing on the floor.
This place looks like a sci-fi movie set.
This is the reactor core.
