HISTORICAL NOTE
The Prairie Island nuclear plant is an electricity-generating facility located in Red Wing along the Mississippi River and adjacent to the Prairie Island Indian Community reservation. The plant is owned by the Northern States Power Company, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, and is operated by Xcel Energy. The nuclear power plant began operating in 1973, and has two nuclear reactors. The power plant attracted controversy in the early 1990s when its operator decided to store nuclear waste in large steel casks on-site. The area where the facility is located is a floodplain of the Mississippi River, and many opponents of the decision feared the risk of water contamination through breach of the casks during seasonal flooding of the river, and opposed renewal of the federal license at the plant. Eventually, storage of the steel casks was allowed at the facility, but the number of casks was reduced from 48 to 17.
