The Limerick nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania is located next to the Schuylkill River in Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania northwest of Philadelphia. The facility has two General Electric boiling water reactor (BWR) units, cooled by natural draft cooling towers. PECO (now part of Exelon Corporation, which also owns Commonwealth Edison) owns and operates this facility.

PECO also owns and operates the Peach Bottom Nuclear Generating Station located on the Susquehanna River south of Harrisburg. The towers are crossflow natural draft cooling towers originally designed and constructed by The Marley Company of Mission, Kansas.
