Power Plant 2 (IMAGE) Penn State Caption Contractors remove 50-year-old boilers at Penn State's West Campus Steam Plant. The existing boilers in 2014 were deconstructed and removed for the facility's transition to natural gas. 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.
