On September 19, 2008, Luminant filed an application with the NRC for a Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) for two new reactors. [2] The reactor design selected is the US version of the 1,700 MWe Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (US-APWR), developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI).
The EDF Group is a power generation company which operates 58 reactors in 19 different sites. In addition, it has a 45% stake in EnBW, and has a 30% stake in the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant . Its subsidiary EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited owns and operates eight plants in the United Kingdom.
This is a list of all the commercial nuclear reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. The list only includes civilian nuclear power reactors used to generate electricity for a power grid. All commercial nuclear reactors use nuclear fission. As of December 2024, there are 419 operable power reactors in the world, with a ...
Texas electricity generation by type, 2001-2024. This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Texas, sorted by type and name.In 2022, Texas had a total summer capacity of 148,900 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 525,562 GWh. [2]
The Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program is a U.S. government research and development program. It is directed by the United States Department of Energy and is aimed at performing research and compiling data necessary to qualify for licenses to extend the life of America's current 104 electricity generating nuclear power plants beyond 60 years of life.
The goal of CASL is to develop advanced computational models of light water reactors (LWRs) that can be used by utilities, fuel vendors, universities, and national laboratories to help improve the performance of existing and future nuclear reactors. [2] CASL was created in May 2010, and was the first energy innovation hub to be awarded. [3] [4]
The light-water reactor (LWR) is a type of thermal-neutron reactor that uses normal water, as opposed to heavy water, as both its coolant and neutron moderator; furthermore a solid form of fissile elements is used as fuel. Thermal-neutron reactors are the most common type of nuclear reactor, and light-water reactors are the most common type of ...
GE and Hitachi have developed the world’s safest Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) over 60 years, with 40 reactors operating in 5 countries. BWRs and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) both use light water as coolant and steam source, but BWRs generate steam directly in the reactor core, while PWRs use a secondary loop to produce steam.
