The nuclear power plant Perry (English Perry Nuclear Power Plant ) is a nuclear power plant with a boiling water reactor. The nuclear power plant is located on Lake Erie, 65 km northeast of Cleveland, Ohio.

The nuclear power plant consists of a General Electric boiling water reactor type BWR - sixth He has a net output of 1245 MW. On 3 May 1977 started the construction of the reactor. He was critical on June 6, 1986 for the first time. The first network synchronization took place on 19 December 1986. The commercial operation of the reactor took on November 18, 1987. In 2000, the thermal power of the reactor of 3579 MW was increased to 3758 MW. Therefore, the reactor was one of the most powerful reactors in the United States of America.

The plant was originally planned for two nuclear reactors. Construction on the block 2 were interrupted in 1985 and formally terminated in 1994. At the time of cancellation all important buildings and structures for the second block had already been completed, including the cooling tower. Built at a cost of six billion dollars the plant is one of the most expensive power plants in the United States.
