  The cooling towers that can be seen in the back ground at RSG are being knocked down( well blown up) on Sunday 11th march 2012. Will WGT be removing them from the landscape?

  Here's a YouTube link to the demolition of the towers:

  And WGTIcon, hyperbolic cooling towers like that, although very popular at many nuke plants, are not solely indicative of atom splitters.  Many nukes don't have one at all, and many conventional coal plants do.  I did a search of that particular plant, and it turns out it was a coal burner.
