Elk River Station is an energy-from-waste plant operating in Elk River, Minnesota that generates 35 to 42 megawatts of electrical power. The site was originally built as a coal and oil-fired facility in 1950, then construction began on a nuclear power plant (boiling water reactor) in 1959. The nuclear reactor was small (22 MW) and only operated from July 1, 1964 until February 1, 1968 before undergoing decommission and dismantlement in the following years, ending in the early 1970s. Some of the spent nuclear fuel from Elk River was sent to Italy for reprocessing as part of a thorium fuel cycle research program; decades later this became the subject of diplomatic exchanges regarding its ultimate fate.

  • Elk River Station es una incineradora que funciona en el Elk River (Minnesota) que genera de 35 a 42 megavatios de energía eléctrica. La planta fue construida inicialmente como una instalación para quemar carbón y petróleo en 1950, y después convertida en una planta de energía nuclear con un (reactor de agua hirviendo) en 1963. El reactor nuclear era pequeño y sólo función entre 1964 y 1968 antes de iniciarse la desinstalación y el desmantelamiento en los años siguientes, finalizando al principio de los 70. Volvió a funcionar con carbón y petróleo en 1968. En 1989, la instalación fue reconvertida de nuevo, ahora para utilizar como combustible residuos y basuras. Los residuos proceden de los condados de Anoka, Benton, Hennepin, Sherburne, y Stearns, y las cenizas que resultan de la incinera (es)
