McCandless Crossing

McCandless Crossing is an open-air lifestyle center in McCandless, Pennsylvania, about 10 miles north of Pittsburgh. The $100 million development was completed in late 2016. History The mixed-use project opened partially in 2010 with the completion of the first phase, which includes a Lowe's Home Improvement store and smaller shops. As of 2013, phases two and three were completed including a Hilton Home2 hotel, an LA Fitness, and a day care center. The fourth phase, which includes a 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) town center, started development in 2013 with the construction of three anchor stores: Dick's Sporting Goods, Cinemark Theatres, and HomeGoods. The project was expected to partially open in early 2014 with the opening of the three anchor stores, with the completion scheduled for autumn of 2014. The fourth phase includes 53 townhomes, developed by Ryan Homes. On January 30, 2014, it was announced that the work on McCandless Crossing would extend into 2016 due to harsh winter weather conditions delaying progress. Dick's Sporting Goods became the first completed business of phase four and opened on April 9, 2014, replacing the previous Shoppes at Northway location. In early 2024, Dick's Sporting Goods moved back to Ross Township, replacing the not defunct Sears anchor store in Ross Park Mall with Dick's House of Sport. The Cinemark movie theater opened in September 2014, with various restaurants and retailers opening in July and August 2014. In 2016, the development was mostly completed and near capacity as numerous restaurants and retailers moved in. A Fairfield by Marriott hotel opened in 2017, and a 10-bed Allegheny Health Network hospital opened in 2020. A proposed 4-story office tower called McCandless Town Center remains unbuilt. Development The project is being developed by AdVenture Development, a development firm based in Selma, North Carolina. The project consists of four phases each occupying a section of the 130-acre site. The first phase opened in 2010 with a Lowe's Home Improvement store, the second in 2011 with an LA Fitness, and the third in 2013 with a Hilton Home2 hotel. The fourth phase was expected to partially open in spring of 2014. The development has been a part of a local boom in assisted living and senior housing construction, with two developments located in McCandless Crossing.

Mon Valley Works–Irvin Plant

The Mon Valley Works–Irvin Plant is a steel processing plant operated by U.S. Steel and historically a "hot strip mill" (sometimes referred to as a "steel mill") in the Pittsburgh suburb of West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. The site consists of 650 acres on a hilltop 250 feet above the Monongahela Valley. The plant has an annual capacity of 2.9 million net tons of steel from an 80″ hot strip mill, 64″ and 84″ Pickle lines, 84″ five-stand cold reduction mill, continuous annealing line, batch and open-coil annealing facilities, 84″ temper mill, 52″ hot-dip galvanizing line and a 48″ hot-dip galvanizing line, as well as the #11 Shear Line and #17 Recoil line. The #11 shear line starts with the Kline conveyor. History The mill was announced on May 22, 1937 and opened in phases starting on March 2, 1938 while being dedicated on December 15, 1938 for U.S. Steel and was constructed by Mesta Machinery. U.S. Steel has claimed that construction of the hilltop site required more cubic yards of earth moved (4.4 million cubic yards) than any project other than the Panama Canal. The cost of the construction of the facility was estimated at $63 million ($1.44 billion today). It produced its 80 millionth ton of steel in 1981 with a workforce of 4,000 that year. In 1943 a Pittsburgh grand jury indicted four Carnegie Illinois foremen for destroying records of steel plating tests conducted at Irvin. Texas Governor Rick Perry made a major televised campaign stop at the plant in October 2011. In January 2012 a large explosion and fire rocked the plant. President Barack Obama visited the plant in January 2014 to launch his program on new retirement accounts, signing the myRA at a televised ceremony at the plant. In May 2019 U.S. Steel announced a project to spend $1 billion dollars to build a combined casting and rolling facility. The project was repurposed in 2021. President Donald Trump visited the plant in May 2025 to celebrate the newly announced partnership between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel.

Norris City Cemetery

Norris City Cemetery is located at the corner of Stanbridge Street and Norris City Avenue in East Norriton Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Founded in the early 1860s, the cemetery came under township ownership in the late 1980s after falling into disrepair, and is now maintained as part of East Norriton's parks system. Its development was part of the so-called Rural Cemetery Movement, and as such was nonsectarian and was not overseen by any specific municipality. Most graves were populated between 1880 and 1920, but the cemetery has remained active since. The cemetery is most ordinary: there are few elaborate graves and only one notable person buried here, Ephraim Acker (1827–1903), a US Congress Representative.

Jaderná elektrárna Beaver Valley

Jaderná elektrárna Beaver Valley (anglicky Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station) je provozní jadernou elektrárnou ve Spojených státech. Leží poblíž města Shippingport ve státě Pensylvánie, zhruba 43 kilometrů od Pittsburghu. Elektrárna je vlastněna a provozována společností Energy Harbor. Zařízení mělo být odstaveno v roce 2021, ale díky rozhodnutí guvernéra Thomase Wolfa zůstala v provozu. Elektrárna se rozkládá na pozemku o ploše 400 hektarů. Historie a technické informace Reaktory Elektrárna provozuje dva tlakovodní čtyřsmyčkové reaktory Westinghouse M412, z čehož vyplývá, že každý z nich má v primárním okruhu čtyři parogenerátory. Výstavba prvního bloku započala 26. června 1970. Hrubý výkon reaktoru činí 959 MW a čistý výkon putující do sítě po odečtění potřeb bloku činí 908 MW. Do sítě byl připojen 14. června 1976 a do komerčního provozu přešel 1. října 1976. Výstavba druhého, technicky identického bloku začala 3. května 1974. Hrubý výkon reaktoru činí 958 MW a čistý výkon je 905 MW. Do sítě byl blok připojen 17. srpna 1978 a do komerčního provozu přešel 17. listopadu 1987. Okolní obyvatelstvo NRC definuje dvě zóny havarijního plánování kolem jaderných elektráren. První o poloměru 16 kilometrů, která se týká především vystavení radioaktivní kontaminace vzduchu a poté druhou o poloměru 80 kilometrů, jež se zabývá kontaminací potravin a vody. NRC také odhaduje každoroční riziko zemětřesení dostatečně silného na to, aby způsobilo poškození aktivních zón reaktorů v Beaver Valley. Takové šance u prvního reaktoru jsou 1 ku 20 833 u druhého reaktoru 1 ku 45 455. Studie byla zveřejněna v roce 2010.

Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station

Beaver Valley Power Station is a nuclear power plant on the Ohio River covering 1,000 acres (400 ha) near Shippingport, Pennsylvania, United States, roughly 27 miles (43 km) northwest of Pittsburgh. The plant is operated by Vistra Corp and power is generated by two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors. As of 2023, it is the fourth largest employer in Beaver County. Beaver Valley 1 was used as the reference design for the French nuclear plant in Fessenheim. In 2018, the previous owner FirstEnergy Solutions filed for bankruptcy and announced the plant would begin deactivation by 2021. However, upon emergence from bankruptcy in 2020 as new owner Energy Harbor, the shutdown of the plant was reversed largely due to then Governor Tom Wolf's decision to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Energy Harbor and the power plant were acquired by Vistra Corp in 2024. Surrounding population The Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines two emergency planning zones around nuclear power plants: a plume exposure pathway zone with a radius of 10 miles (16 km), concerned primarily with exposure to, and inhalation of, airborne radioactive contamination, and an ingestion pathway zone of about 50 miles (80 km), concerned primarily with ingestion of food and liquid contaminated by radioactivity. The 2010 U.S. population within 10 miles (16 km) of Beaver Valley was 114,514, a decrease of 6.6 percent in a decade, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data for msnbc.com. The 2010 U.S. population within 50 miles (80 km) was 3,140,766, a decrease of 3.7 percent since 2000. Cities within 50 miles include Pittsburgh (27 miles away, located upriver from the station). Seismic risk The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Beaver Valley was Reactor 1: 1 in 20,833; Reactor 2: 1 in 45,455, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.
