The two reactors at the South Texas nuclear power plant, an hour southwest of Houston, last year churned out 21.37 billion kilowatt-hours. By 2015, its majority owner, New Jersey-based NRG Energy, hopes to at least double that capacity if it gets permission to build two more reactors on the site. The company filed the first application on Monday for a new nuclear power plant - two advanced boiling-water reactors - in more than 30 years.
“It is a new day for energy in America,” David Crane, NRG president and chief executive officer, said after making the application. “Advanced nuclear technology is the only currently viable large-scale alternative to traditional coal-fueled generation to produce none of the traditional air emissions,” including the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change.
