YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

From the 9NEWS archive: On an old 9NEWS film reel labeled "1965 flood," there's also this from reporter Stewart Jacoby on the construction of a power plant in Weld County.

The Fort St. Vrain Generation Station was originally built as the state's only commercial nuclear power plant and operated from 1979 to 1989. Construction started in the 1960s near the town of Platteville. Today, it's a natural-gas powered electricity-generating facility.
