"Trojan Nuclear Power Plant is a decommissioned pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant in Rainier, Oregon, USA, and the only nuclear power plant to be built in Oregon. After only sixteen years service it was closed by its operator, Portland General Electric, almost twenty years before its design lifetime.
