Beaver Valley Power Station is a nuclear power plant covering 500 acres (2 km²) near Shippingport, Pennsylvania, 34 miles (54 km) west by north of Pittsburgh.

The Beaver Valley plant is owned by First Energy Nuclear Operating Corporation. FirstEnergy is the holding company for Ohio Edison, Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company, Toledo Edison, Metropolitan Edison, Jersey Central Power and Light, and the Pennsylvania Power Company.

This plant has two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors.

While the Shippingport Reactor has been decommissioned, Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 are still licensed and in operation.
