McGuire Nuclear Station

F1

Active reactors ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant McGuire is a U.S. nuclear power plant, which is about 27 km northwest of the city of Charlotte in the U.S. state of North Carolina is located. The power plant consists of two identical Westinghouse four -loop pressurized water reactors and draws its cooling water from the Lake Norman, suffered due to damming of the Catawba River Reservoir. The two power plant units have an electrical output of 2200 MW combined (net), its share of nuclear power generation in the state of North Carolina is about 40 %.

Ownership and naming

The nuclear power plant McGuire heard the Duke Power Company and operated by Duke Energy Corporation. It is named after William McGuire, president of Duke Power in the period from 1959 to 1971 named.

Term extension

The licenses for the operation of the systems ran originally from on June 12, 2021 ( Block 1), respectively, at March 3, 2023 (Block 2). On 27 May 2003, the NRC extended the approval of both reactors by 20 years. This results in a new total operating time of 60 years per block.
