Note this location also encompasses the Monongah Power Plant Yard (Workshop), so check out that subsequent location for additional items and resources. Providing power to most of the Savage Divide (once you start the generation back up again), this plant is dominated by two huge cooling towers, with a scattering of wooden defenses, military vehicles, rusting trucks, and other large detritus, mainly around the main entrance. Enter via one of the following ground-level entrances: turbine hall and locker room (south exterior), the main entrance (lobby, south exterior), the loading dock (north), the turbine hall (inside a metal shed on the north side), and turbine hall (double doors, west exterior), and via both cooling towers. Alternatively, you can head up the gantry steps to a series of platforms and rooftop locations, which includes several linked blue maintenance huts atop the main plant. Access the fuel storage (two separate entrances), loading dock, turbine hall, or the west cooling tower (via the roof).
Once inside, remove any enemies, be aware of the chambers (especially the Reactor room) with increased radiation, and claim the quality junk you crave.
