The Turbine Building's purpose should be fairly obvious from its name.

From just about any angle, the dome of the Containment Building can be seen above the Turbine Building.

The Turbine Building, along with the Control Building, Auxiliary Building and Fuel Building, made up the Power Block.

Demolition of the Power Block began in March of 2006. The group of pictures above was taken on April 22, 2006. The group below was taken on May 13, 2006. In that two weeks, most of the outer siding and insulation was removed from the Turbine Building.

Behind the Turbine Building, the Control Building and Fuel Buildings can be glimpsed, also under demolition. The demolition of the Power Block was scheduled to be completed in 2007, leaving the Containment Building standing alone until its demolition in 2008.
