The reason for that particular sign (and the dinosaur) is that the facility is a dual generating station using twin nuclear reactors (Westinghouse pressurized water reactors - Units 3 and 4), as well as three fossil units (two 400-megawatt oil/natural gas generation units - Units 1 and 2, and one 1,150 megawatt gas-fired unit - Unit 5).

They are all on the same site, but security for delivery entry is markedly different depending on which side you are going. I've delivered to both sides a couple of times. I definitely prefer to deliver to the fossil side, which is the main shipping/receiving area, down around the south side, where you don't have to actually enter the more secure nuclear areas.

Yes, it is both. Did they tag you Turtle while you were there?
