Additional Details:
The Shawnee Steam Plant which is being built by the Tennessee Valley Authority near Paducah, Kentucky, has 10 stacks, each of which towers 250 feet above the ground. This $216,000,000 power plant, one of the largest in the world, will generate 1,500,000 kilowatts, part of the power requirements of the new billion dollar Atomic Energy Plant, also near Paducah. Construction of both plants was begun in January 1851, with completion scheduled for late 1955.
