Just outside of Toledo, Ohio on Lake Erie stands the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant. Right now the question of whether it should get a new license is being considered. Below is a newspaper article and below that is a link to more information about this plant. There have been serious incidents at this plant.

Eco-groups fight license renewal
Environmentalists oppose 20 more years of operation for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station near Toledo

Beacon Journal staff report
Four environmental groups are fighting the renewal of the federal operating license for FirstEnergy Corp.'s Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station on Lake Erie in northwest Ohio.
The groups — Beyond Nuclear, the Green Party of Ohio, Don't Waste Michigan and Citizens Environmental Alliance of Southwestern Ontario — are seeking to intervene in the case.
Their efforts have been opposed by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff and FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co.
A hearing is scheduled March 1 before the NRC's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
