Uprates of existing nuclear power plants, as a part of the US Electric Industry’s balanced blend of clean, new generation, has the potential to increase electrical capacity by 15%-20%. This can be achieved by utilizing Measurement Uncertainty Recapture, Stretch and Extended Power Uprates. The Nuclear Energy Institute document, “Roadmap for Power Uprate Program Development and Implementation,” (NEI 08-10 Rev 0 July 2009) provides a road map for future Power Uprate projects based on a collaborative effort between the US Nuclear Industry Utilities and Design/Manufacturing vendors. The guidance was based on lessons learned and examples provided by utilities and vendors over the last decade of experience. Progress Energy presented a case study on Crystal River Nuclear Plant Margin Management and Lessons Learned during an NEI industry forum in January 2010. This case study has been revamped to incorporate feedback requesting additional topics and an overview of the project planning process. Progress Energy has partnered with AREVA and WorleyParsons, the original OEMs for the Nuclear Steam Supply System, Fuel, Safety Analyses and Turbine Plant Systems. This collaborative effort sets the stage for future Progress Energy and Industry Extended Power Uprates. (PRWeb May 3, 2010)

Texans for a Sound Energy Policy Alliance (TSEPA) today questioned the logic of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority's (GBRA) decision to extend its water reservation agreement with Exelon while simultaneously requesting others to conserve. With the Guadalupe River Basin experiencing Stage 2 drought conditions, GBRA encouraged all users to limit their water usage. Additionally, GBRA was forced to increase the release rate from Canyon Lake into the Guadalupe River in order to meet the current water supply demands for its downstream user, the City of Victoria. At the same time, GBRA accepted $1.1 million from Exelon to reserve 75,000 acre-feet from the Guadalupe for its proposed nuclear power plant near Victoria. (PRWeb Jul 7, 2009)

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Nuclear Power market. Although tempered by controversies, and skepticism over sustainability, world nuclear power generation is projected to reach 2,966 billion kWh by the year 2015, encouraged largely by the quest for energy independence, clean electricity and a solution to climate change. Future growth is expected to stem solely from the technology's proven capability to generate massive baseload power needed to satiate spiraling world energy requirements. (PRWeb Jun 29, 2009)
