South Texas Project (STP)
South Texas 2 reactor went on line in Bay City, Texas. At this time (August 2004), it is the largest reactor on U.S. soil. With a net capacity of 1,265 Megawatts (electric), its capacity is a single megawatt greater than that of its companion reactor, South Texas 1. With the two biggest reactors in the Nation, the South Texas power plant is not the largest nuclear power plant, however. This distinction falls to Arizona's Palo Verde power plant, which has one more reactor than South Texas.
