Evergy’s Wolf Creek Generating Station, near Burlington, is the only nuclear power plant in Kansas. In addition to generating 20 percent of the state’s electricity—enough to power 800,000 homes—it has been generating educational opportunities by providing internships and co-op employment to nuclear engineering students from universities around the Midwest for 35 years.
