A worker looks at a turbine at the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Power Plant near Platteville, Colorado, in 1972. The plant was closed in 1989.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Arlo Pérez Esquivel. It’s edited and produced by Jo Erickson and Mateo Schimpf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
