Narrative:
On my departure from lakeville, mn (klvn), and on my return back to lakeville, I inadvertently passed through the tfr around the prairie island nuclear plant. Before the flight -- I was aware of the tfr, but mistakenly assumed this power plant was the lacrosse, wi, power plant, and there were no tfr's on my route of flight. There is a lacrosse, wi, power plant -- however there is also a prairie island power plant.
