Facts and Figures
	Plant Site
	The plant is five miles north of the Missouri River on a plateau 300 feet above the average river level. More than 70 sites in four states were studied before the Callaway site was selected.
	Reactor Containment Building
			205 feet tall
			150 feet in diameter
			Constructed of reinforced concrete and steel
	Cooling Tower
			553 feet tall and 430 feet in diameter at the base
			Cools approximately 585,000 gallons of water per minute when the plant is operating at full power. About 15,000 gallons per minute are lost out the top through evaporation, and another 5,000 gallons per minute are sent to the Missouri River as “blowdown” to flush suspended solids from the cooling tower basin. This water is replaced with water from the river, which is five miles south of the plant
			Cooling tower basin holds 11 million gallons of water. The water is 12 feet deep under the tower, and 20 feet deep at the intake to the circulating water pumps that pump the water through the plant
			Temperature of the water going into the tower is 125 degrees Fahrenheit. The tower cools it to 95 degrees
