Ft. St. vrain was on line for some years, although it had a tough go of it due to meeting the tech specs.

The reactor has been decommissioned and FSV is now a gas-fired plant.  There is an on-site interim dry cask storage facility for the fuel.

Will have to dig to get you better information,

A local anti-nuke is claiming that extra cancers are occurring around 
the Fort St. Vrain nuclear power plant. If I remember correctly, that 
plant never operated. Did it ever even go critical? Info about this 
would be helpful for responding to his claims.
