Kansas Governor to attend 40th anniversary of Wolf Creek Nuclear Generation Station

Governor Laura Kelly will attend the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

That happens tomorrow morning at 9:30.

That power plant is located near Burlington, Kansas.

The plant is owned and operated by the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation, a subsidiary of three owners – Kansas City Power & Light, Kansas Gas and Electric, and Kansas Electric Power.

Wolf Creek, the only nuclear power plant in Kansas, was designed in 1976 and began commercial operations in 1985.

It generates 1,200 megawatts, enough power to provide energy to nearly 800,000 households.
