Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) is a boiling water reactor (BWR) type nuclear power plant located on a 1,251 acre (5.1 km²) site near Brownville, Nebraska. It is the largest single unit electrical generator in Nebraska.

CNS was first put into operation in July 1974 and generates approximately 800 megawatts (MWe) of electricity.

The Cooper Nuclear Station is owned and operated by the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). Support services are provided by Entergy Nuclear Nebraska through 2014.

The facility is named after Humboldt, Neb., natives Guy Cooper, Jr., and Guy Cooper, Sr., in recognition of their contribution to public power in Nebraska.
