Power Plant 1

Caption

Cutting torches are used to take down support beams during the removal of old boilers from Penn State's power plant in preparation for the facility's conversion to natural gas in 2014. A recent study by Penn State researchers found the power plant conversion resulted in no health risks from radon, which is found in natural gas.
