On this day, May 20, 1976, Trojan Nuclear Power Plant began operating, generating 1,130 megawatts, and operating until 1993, well before the end of its useful life. The plant was plagued with mechanical problems and, as time went on, public opinion against the plant began to pile up. Though two ballot measures were defeated in 1992 at great expense to PGE, the majority owener of the plant, PGE mothballed the plant a year later.
