Nuclear anyone?

Gives one some hope.

25 SMR license applications expected by 2029, plus six other takeaways from FERC, NRC joint meeting

The planned SMR units will likely be up to about 200 MW in size, an NRC official said. In addition, the agency is reviewing 19 applications to extend the operating licenses of existing nuclear plants, with more requests expected.

Lucky for you all. Will that supply your service territory?

I love nuc power...but I'm also deathly afraid of it. Big push with the microreactors by DoD, I'm not a fan of those at all.

I haven’t heard anything about Cook in a long time, and it’s got to be every bit of 50 years old.

I remember camping up there in 74 and it was already making power by then

 

[lilranch2001]

I take that back it must’ve been after 74. I just looked it up and it was commissioned and 75 and 78.

And now that I think about it my 1977 F-250 four-wheel-drive was brand new so….

Yep.

We need more of them, we also need to stop being afraid of them... hard to do I know...
