Description: The Davis–Besse Nuclear Power Station, located on the shores of Lake Erie in Oak Harbor, Ohio, began operation in 1978 as a key part of the region’s growing demand for reliable electricity. Named after Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company chairman John K. Davis and FirstEnergy executive Ralph M. Besse, the plant features a single pressurized water reactor designed by Babcock & Wilcox. Over the decades, Davis–Besse has played an important role in supplying carbon-free power to northern Ohio, while also becoming widely known within the nuclear industry for both its longevity and safety challenges. The plant has continued operating with upgrades and oversight, remaining a significant contributor of clean nuclear energy.
