River Bend Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power station on a site near St. Francisville, Louisiana, approximately north of Baton Rouge. The station has one sixth generation General Electric Boiling Water Reactor that has a nominal gross electric output of about 1010 MWe. Commercial operation began on June 16, 1986. River Bend is operated by Entergy, which owns 100% of the station through its subsidiary, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana. ==Units 2 and 3== The River Bend site was originally designed to have two identical units. Construction on Unit 1 began in 1973, but Unit 2 never broke ground. In 1984, plans to construct Unit 2 were officially abandoned.〔(Nuclear Power Generation and Fuel Cycle Report 1997 ) p. 66.〕 On September 25, 2008, Entergy filed a Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for Unit 3, a new nuclear reactor at River Bend. The 1550 MWe Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) was the selected design.〔 〕 The reactor's cost was estimated at $6.2 billion.〔 On January 9, 2009, Entergy indefinitely postponed work towards the license and construction of Unit 3. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「River Bend Nuclear Generating Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
