Bull Run Steam Plant Construction Photos 1963 to 1965

Here is a group of photos of the construction of the Bull Run Steam Plant near Oak Ridge.  The plant is now slated for closure in 2023.  

I don't know the provenance of these pictures. Some are well marked with dates and others have some codes on the image and some have no indications at all. For a brief time in 1967 when the plant was completed, the smokestack was the tallest in the world
