Kingston Fossil Plant
Kingston Fossil Plant, commonly known as Kingston Steam Plant, is a Tennessee Valley Authority 1.7-GW coal-burning power plant located in Roane County, just outside Kingston, Tennessee on the shore of Watts Bar Lake.
Begun in 1951, it was the largest coal-fired power plant in the world when completed in 1955.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant page )〕 It was built primarily to provide electricity for the nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory.〔Tennessee Valley Authority Office of Engineering Design and Construction, ''The Kingston Steam Plant: A Report on the Planning, Design, Construction, Costs, and First Power Operations'' (Tennessee Valley Authority Technical Report no. 34, 1965), pp. 1-12.〕 The plant is a popular site for birdwatchers, as many waterfowl come to the settling and treatment ponds nearby.〔Charles P. Nicholson and Ron Hoff, (Birding at Kingston Steam Plant ), Tennessee Ornithological Society, September 2006〕

The plant has nine generating units: units 1–4, rated at 175 MWe each (launched into service in 1954), and units 5–9, rated at 200 MWe each (launched in 1955). It produces about ten billion kilowatt hours of electricity from some five million tons of coal each year. All nine generating units are equipped with cold-side selective catalytic reduction systems to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions that contribute to the formation of ozone.〔〔Donald Borio and Robert Babb, (Technical and Economic Considerations in Hot or Cold Placement of SCR Systems for Utility Boilers ), ICAC Forum '02〕
In 1976, its original stacks were taken out of service (though left standing) and replaced by a pair of tall chimneys, one for units 1–5 and one for units 6–9.
