Callaway Energy Center, nuclear power station in Callaway County, Missouri, U.S., operated by Ameren Missouri
Callaway Energy Center is a nuclear power plant in Callaway County, Missouri, in the United States. It runs a single reactor that generates electricity and sends it into the regional power grid.
Construction started in the late 1970s, and the plant began operating in 1984. It has been running continuously since then, supplying power to the surrounding region.
Access to the site is not allowed for security reasons, so there are no public tours of the interior. The cooling towers are visible from roads and public areas near the site.
The plant sits on the bank of the Missouri River, which supplies the water used to cool the reactor. Without the river, this location would not have been chosen for a nuclear facility of this type.
