This location also encompasses the Thunder Mountain Power Plant Yard (Workshop), so consult that location for more information on available resources and items. This gigantic power plant usually requires the power to be turned on in order to power other locations in the region. The exterior is dominated by two gigantic cooling towers, with a container area close to the lake (east), as well as a large, tent-filled parking lot (the workshop area). Enter via one of five entrances: security, main entrance (office), loading dock, turbine hall (cooling tower), or turbine hall (lake container area). Once inside, remove any enemy threats. Beware of the chambers (especially the reactor room) with increased radiation threats, and claim the quality junk you need.
