433 Comments for Franklin Power Plant

I worked at a Nuclear Power Station for 12 years. All power plants are wired up both to the grid to feed power and also wired up separately to receive power when not on line (operating). Now you know folks.

places like this could be awesome to see NIN at

This is the sister plant to the eagle river power plant

There's a little tool that makes these, you put the die in a plier-type tool and squeeze. It's like the precursor to the Dymo labeller.

wait, that place still had power??

I think they filmed a scene of Transformers 2 here

Lol and over a year from Tara..Awsome indeed :)

Yessir that would be an old arc welder. Might be an old lincoln from the 50's or early 60's

i concur with the people who said that this photograph has a likeness to a Stephen King novel or an Romero zombie movie.

It's the Mary Celeste of powerplant offices.

Some Coal burning steam plants have large cooling towers. These plants are most often mistaken as nuclear plants. The towers take in cool air from large openings below them pushing the hot air up as it rises it condenses and makeing the water content in the steam run back to ground level where it is collected and reused. This system is slowley being intruduced in Ukraine and outer Eastern European countys that are in the process converting out dated Soviet era Nuclear Power Plants over to coal buring power plants..

most ofton power plants are hooked up on a diffrent power grid so that if there is a black out in the local area the plant is not affected by the outage. They do this so that plant stays in complete control of its operations and turbines as well as control the turbines from getting damaged if there is a complete shut down or loss of power.

I love how the stair rail looks like it just keeps going in the distance. Another fantastic gallery!

Looks like a regular friday afternoon at the off when everyone has left for the weekend and the cleaners haven't gotten to that area yet...but it does remind you of something out of a stephen king novel very erie in it's calmness like a moment lost in time or forgot...and yes I do security and I've seen those chairs at some buildings I've worked at very erie indeed

Shouldn't every home have a set of these?

A just society would require them.

A sublime society would provide them, gratis.
