JUST PEACHY 🍑: Did you know Peach Bottom Nuclear Plant generates almost 9% of Pennsylvania’s power?

Unit 3 connected to the grid for the first time on this day in 1974.

Since then, both of Peach Bottom’s reactors have had their licenses extended twice, clearing them to generate reliable power through 2053 and 2054.

This photo captures history in the making at Palisades: the first eight nuclear fuel bundles loaded into the reactor vessel!

Fuel loading follows more than two years of extensive inspection, maintenance, refurbishment, testing, and equipment upgrades across the station and represents an important step toward returning Palisades to safe and reliable operation.

The Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in Georgia is now the largest nuclear power plant in the United States by generating capacity. With four reactors, it has a combined capacity of about 4.8 GW.

Vogtle Units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in the late 1980s, while Unit 3 entered service in 2023 and Unit 4 in 2024. The two new reactors significantly expanded the plant’s capacity and made Vogtle the largest nuclear facility in the country.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Vogtle’s four reactors together can generate enough electricity to serve more than 1 million homes. Its large capacity and high utilization make it one of the most significant sources of low-carbon electricity in the United States.

Before Vogtle’s expansion, Palo Verde Generating Station in Arizona, with about 3.9 GW of capacity across three reactors, was the largest U.S. nuclear plant. Vogtle surpassed it after Units 3 and 4 came online.

With approximately 4.8 GW of nuclear capacity, Plant Vogtle demonstrates the scale of modern nuclear generation in the U.S. Its four reactors provide a large, steady source of electricity regardless of weather or time of day.

In 2025, nuclear energy provided about 18% of total utility-scale electricity generation in the United States, which translates to roughly 797 billion kilowatthours (based on total utility-scale net generation of about 4,429 billion kWh)

ON THIS DAY in 1977, the Joseph Farley Nuclear Plant Unit 1 first connected to the grid.

Plant Farley’s two pressurized water reactors provide over 9% of Alabama’s total power needs.

The plant site is also a certified wildlife habitat, where Plant Farley manages a bluebird nesting program that has expanded into the local community.
