Treeline and Driftwood on Lake Michigan’s Shore Near Kewaunee

Lake Michigan's shoreline near Kewaunee, Wisconsin, collects driftwood carried in by wind and current action along the western shore. The Kewaunee Power Station sits a few miles south of town on this same shoreline, a single-unit pressurized water reactor that began commercial operation in 1974. Dominion Energy operated the plant until its closure in 2013; NorthStar Group Services has since managed its decommissioning. The reactor generated roughly 574 megawatts of electricity during its operating years, drawing cooling water from the lake it sits beside.
