Portland General Electric Co. has decided to close the Trojan nuclear unit 19 years before its operating license expires rather than spend 200 million dollars to replace its four steam generators. The utility is considering several options for replacement of the power supplied by this unit. They are planning efficiency improvements and considering replacement of aging turbines at its 500 Mw Beaver gas-fired plant.
