The Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant was a 63 MWe boiling water reactor, owned by Pacific Gas and Electric that operated from 1963 to 1976 just south of Eureka, California. Concern about previously undiscovered seismic faults combined with the small scale of the plant caused its shutdown in July 1976. It has been in SAFSTOR inactive status since.
