Set construction ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant is Clinton power plant with a boiling water reactor near Clinton in the U.S. state of Illinois. The built by General Electric reactor and the associated operational buildings cover an area of about 37.5 km ². In a further 20 square kilometers there is a reservoir for cooling water collection, which was created by damming the Salt Creek and its northern oxbow. The construction of the power plant cost more than four billion U.S. dollars. Thus, Clinton is one of the most expensive locations of electricity in the Midwest. Clinton went on April 24, 1987 to the public power grid. The commercial power operation started on 24 November 1987.

The reactor of the nuclear power plant has a maximum capacity of 1,098 megawatts. This is sufficient to meet the electricity needs of about one million average American homes. Operator and owner is the AmerGen Energy Company, which AmerGen partly of Exelon Corporation belongs. In September 2003, Exelon submitted an application for the construction of a second reactor at the site of the nuclear power station Clinton. Notice of approval of the permit has not yet been decided.
