Nuclear: An Ideal Foundation for Our Clean Energy Future
Peach Bottom Clean Energy Center's two nuclear reactors in Delta, Pennsylvania can generate 2,770 megawatts (MW) of clean, carbon-free electricity. Constellation owns 50 percent of Peach Bottom, producing enough energy to power the equivalent of nearly 2 million homes. PSEG owns the other 50 percent of Peach Bottom. Constellation operates the plant.
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 Peach Bottom on May 7, 2003. Peach Bottom Unit 2 is licensed through 2033 and Unit 3 is licensed through 2034.
Safety is Constellation’s first and most critical obligation. Nuclear power plants are among the best-protected private sector facilities in America, with monitoring and inspections by plant owners, local officials, and the federal government.
