U.S. nuclear energy facilities are initially licensed to operate for 40 years and a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rule allows licensees to apply for initial and subsequent license renewals of up to 20 years each after the initial 40-year term. The NRC approved initial license renewal for Ginna on May 19, 2004, authorizing operation through 2029.
R.E. Ginna Clean Energy Center
Nuclear: An Ideal Foundation for Our Clean Energy Future
The R.E. Ginna Clean Energy Center’s single reactor can produce up to 576 megawatts (MW) of clean, emissions-free energy, enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 400,000 homes. The plant, located in Ontario, New York, is named after Robert Emmett Ginna (pronounced guh-NAY), who helped modify the Atomic Energy Act to permit research into using nuclear energy for electricity.
