There most certainly is a working nuclear reactor at Shippingport.

But its official name is Beaver Valley, not Shippingport. The original post referred to the Shippingport nuclear plant. FReeper Dane has noted that this is a local name. Those familiar with the history of nuclear development will know there is a difference when one talks about The Shippingport Plant, one of the original pioneers of the nuclear plants.

I grew up in this area and my family worked for both Bruce Mansfield and Stone & Webster. Locals call the nuke plant Shippingport. It is in Beaver Valley on the Ohio river located directly between Midland and Beaver.
