Nuclear Power... not dead yet..
btkeele:
I was perusing the NRC website this morning and noticed that every unit in regions I and II were operating at 100% power! Pretty impressive... In fact nationwide there are only a few units
below 100%... a couple of them are coming up after an outage and are 90+ %.
Here at Prairie Island unit 2, we are nearing Mode 4 and hope to be on-line soon.
Ft Calhoun is at 43% power which is great news for them! It has been a long 3 years and
I am very happy for everyone there...
Happy Holidays to all my fellow nukeworkers... i believe our future is still bright! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

You are not alone. Although I'm not sure I would recommend this career to my grandchildren.

Dying industry.

Not quite dying, but on the ropes. Natural ga prices are projected to rise in 2015/2016. That combined with EPA emmissions restrictions will keep nuclear an option. Southern and SCANA have to show that construction schedules and costs can be predictable.
