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.
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Florida, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Florida had a total summer capacity of 66,883 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 258,910 GWh. [2] Florida is the third largest generator of electricity in the nation behind Texas and Pennsylvania. [3]
The University of Florida Training Reactor (UFTR), commissioned in 1959, is a 100 kW modified Argonaut-type reactor at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.It is a light water and graphite moderated, graphite reflected, light water cooled reactor designed and used primarily for training and nuclear research related activities.
(2) Develop potentially cost beneficial changes in the generic design and operation of nuclear power plants that can — (A) Significantly reduce the risks from unintentional release of radioactive material from the various engineered barriers of nuclear power plants (B) Reduce the radiation exposure to workers during plant operation and ...
The Crystal River Energy Complex consists of seven power-generating plants on a 4,700-acre (1,900 ha) site near the mouth of the Crystal River in Citrus County, Florida. Crystal River 1, 2, 4, and 5 are fossil fuel power plants. Crystal River 3 was previously the sole nuclear power plant on the site (1977-2013). The Crystal River Combined Cycle ...
FPL expects the $476 million [9] solar plant to reduce the combined-cycle power plant's natural gas consumption by 1.3 billion cubic feet (37 million m³) per year. [9] Over the 30-year life of the project, this is expected to save $178 million in fuel cost [ 10 ] and reduce carbon emissions by 2.75 million tons.
The plant cost $150 million to construct. [5] The plant consists of over 90,000 SunPower solar panels [3] with single-axis trackers on 235 acres (95 ha). [5] FPL has to get a permit for construction of the second stage and had filed for the permit to build the third stage of the plant. At the second stage, 49 MW of capacity will be added.
On February 26, 2008, both reactors were shut down due to the loss of off-site power during a widespread power outage in South Florida, affecting 700,000 customers. [22] The fire occurred at 1:08 PM and caused an automatic shutdown of the power plant. This led to a domino effect that caused outages as far north as Daytona Beach and Tampa. Power ...
