Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station Monroe Mi

Fermi 2 is a 1,098 net MWe General Electric boiling water reactor owned by DTE Energy and operated by subsidiary Detroit Edison. It was opened in January 1988 and is currently in operation.

As of December 26, 2009 Fermi 2 is operating at full power.

On June 6, 2010 a weak tornado touched down and damaged the Fermi 2 generator building and forced an automatic shutdown leaving over 30,000 people without power in the area.[4] The plant is connected to two single-circuit 345 kv Transmission Lines and 3 120 kv lines. They are operated and maintained by ITC Transmission.
