Nuclear power plants operated by Duke Power in North and South Carolina are an integral part of their local economies. The operation of the plants, and the increased electricity production associated with them, accounts for 4,692 jobs and $271 million in labor income in counties around McGuire and Catawba. This...
The Brunswick nuclear plant is located on a 1,200 acre site near Southport, North Carolina, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River and is owned jointly by PGN (81.67%) and the N. C. Eastern Municipal Power Agency (18.33%). The plant is a dual-unit power plant that has a combined...
This paper focuses on the requirement of electricity and the steps to produce electricity in the U.S. Recognizing the essential role of nuclear power in the national energy policy of the United States. It supports the increased use of nuclear power, the construction and development of new and improved nuclear...
A confluence of factors - the economic and environmental advantages of nuclear energy combined with drawbacks to the use of other fuels - is creating an aura of inevitability around the prospect that new nuclear plants will be ordered in the United States. The same combination of factors will make...
Two new national surveys find favorable public attitudes toward nuclear energy at a record high. One survey of the U.S. public at large found that 65 percent favor the use of nuclear energy. The other survey of only college graduates who are registered to vote found that nearly three-quarters favor...

While America has abundant domestic natural gas resources, our current supply chain is near the breaking point. Low supply levels are resulting in natural gas prices that are two to three times above the historic average. High prices are hurting our economy, putting additional strain on the current economic recovery....
In the field of energy, transport and environment, a scientific and rigorous analysis can help to assess a renewable electricity target, an energy tax, a quantified objective to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, a state aid exception for clean energies or a standard for energy efficiency. Decision-making in energy and environment...
The Millstone nuclear power plant in Waterford, Conn., is an integral part of the New London County economy. The total economic impact of the Millstone plant on New London County for the year beginning April 1, 2001, and ending March 31, 2002, was $515.2 million. The primary focus of this...
This paper summarizes about nuclear electricity in use. Just over 100 nuclear plants supply electricity for one of every five homes and businesses across the country. Nuclear energy is a reliable, safe and clean source of electricity for today, and it will be even more vital in the future. As...
This paper discusses the Baltimore tunnel fire, transportation of spent nuclear fuel, the analysis performed on a spent fuel cask under severe fire conditions, including the ANSYS model that was developed for the analysis, and finally the preliminary results of the analysis including a discussion of the significance of those...
As electricity is the backbone of the nation's economy and national security, the nuclear energy industry in 2001 set forth a long-term vision of the industry's future. The cornerstone of that vision is adding 50,000 megawatts of new nuclear electric generating capacity to the national grid by 2020. The industry...
This paper summarizes about the power generation using nuclear power in the U.S. More than 100 nuclear reactors in 31 states generate enough electricity for one in every five homes and businesses in the United States. They are proven safe, and they do not pollute the air?an important benefit as...
This paper encapsulates the requirement of electricity. The U.S. Department of Energy projects the need for about 50 percent more electricity in the United States by 2020. To meet these needs, the nation must produce more energy from all available sources and do so in an environmentally sound manner. The...
This paper elaborates about the application and usage of Nuclear Energy. Nuclear energy is the second-largest source of electricity in the United States, after coal. Importantly, nuclear energy is the largest emission-free source of electricity, because it does not burn anything to produce energy. As the nuclear energy industry's policy...
Since its introduction of over four decades ago, the peaceful use of nuclear technology, particularly nuclear energy, has successfully applied the principles of the Rio Declaration in contributing to sustainable development in many parts of the world. This vital technology must continue to be available as all nations strive for...
