The Clinton nuclear power station is a General Electric boiling water reactor located near Clinton, Illinois. It is on a 5,000 acre (20 km²) with an adjacent cooling reservoir on 14000 acre (57 km²). Clinton's final construction cost exceeded $4 billion, leading the plant to produce some of the most expensive power in the Midwest.

The Operator and Owner is the AmerGen Energy Company, but AmerGen itself is jointly owned by the Exelon Corporation. In September 2003, Exelon submitted an Early Site Permit to place a second reactor at the Clinton site. A decision on the permit will not be made until 2007.[1]
