The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, a nuclear power station, is in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania just south of Shickshinny, USA. It is operated by PPL and has two General Electric boiling water reactors on a site of 1,075 acres (4.4 km²), with 1,130 employees working on site and another 180 employees in Allentown, Pennsylvania. While PPL operates the facility, Harrisburg-based Allegheny Electric Cooperative purchased 10% of the plant in 1977.

In 2007 PPL announced it would be applying for a license with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to add a third nuclear reactor at the plant. However, no announcements have yet been made by PPL regarding project financing or construction. [http://world-nuclear-news.org/newNuclear/PPL_considers_third_reactor_at_Susquehanna-140607.shtml]
