Constellation secures USD1 billion loan for reactor restart

US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced that the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office has closed a USD1 billion loan to Constellation Energy Generation to help finance the restart of Three Mile Island unit 1, now known as the Crane Clean Energy Centre. ;

The 837 MWe pressurised water reactor in Londonderry Township, Pennsylvania, was closed in 2019, but last year Constellation announced plans to restart the unit after it signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft.

Let's hope they are taking safety very, very, very serious.

Too subsidized to meter!

The loan is being issued under an existing $250 billion energy infrastructure program initially authorized by Congress in 2022. Neither the department nor Constellation released terms of the loan.

The plant, on an island in the Susquehanna River just outside Harrisburg, was the site of the nation's worst commercial nuclear power accident, in 1979. The accident destroyed one reactor, Unit 2, and left the plant with one functioning reactor, Unit 1.

In 2019, Constellation Energy's then-parent company Exelon shut down the functioning reactor, saying it was losing money and Pennsylvania lawmakers had refused to subsidize it to keep it running.

AI and the need for more power than windmills can provide has changed woke lib’s mind about nuclear energy

It's a much better future investment than the Halfrican's 535M Solyndra investment grift stream.

It didnt melt down. Its going to be restored because nuclear power is the future. Renewable energy is a failure

 

[Grumblenuts]

"Sustainable"?
Has a nuclear power plant ever paid for itself?

AI Overview

No, the consensus among economic studies is that nuclear power plants have not been profitable and have not paid for themselves. They require massive government subsidies and are often unable to cover their costs, especially when compared to the declining costs of renewable energy sources.

 

[1srelluc]

If I'm gonna be forced to subsidize something anyway I'd prefer it to be nuke power plants as opposed to something that turns into just another huge dem grift stream.

Let's hope they are taking safety very, very, very serious.

Considering it was the largest accident in the US and the containment worked I think they took it seriously even before the accident.

Chernobyl was what killed the Nuclear Industry even though western reactors are nothing like the RBMK that blew up over there.

It was not a serious accident and was overstated by anti nuclear nuts. Now nuclear power is the future green energy is dead

Fun Fact about the TMI "disaster": Not a single person got as much as a head cold from exposure to nuclear radiation as a result of the "disaster."

Another Fun Fact: Since the beginning of commercial nuclear power in the U.S. (1953), and in the American nuclear Navy as well, not a single human has EVER gotten sick (let alone died) as a result of exposure to nuclear radiation.

Another Fun Fact: In the Japanese nuclear disaster of 2011 (Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant), ONE person died of a heart attack, but not a single person died, or even got sick, as a result of exposure to nuclear radiation.

Clearly, "we" have to do a better job of protecting people from nuclear radiation in nuclear power plants.

There were two units at Three Mile Island. Unit two had the partial meltdown.

Let's hope they are taking safety very, very, very serious.

why would you hope? nothing is regulated safer, than nuclear power, I spent many years inspecting nuclear reactors, they dont worry me at all.

 

[elektra]

Too subsidized to meter!

where is the subsidy

"Sustainable"?

of course, and they continue to make profits, huge profits

Different reactor that is also located there. Never melted down. being refurbished and restarted.

I think you better check your facts on that one.

He dont need to check facts, i can state nobody had an exposure to radiation during the three mile island mishap

Yes, that is stated in another comment.

I have had the privilege of working inside three mile island on numerous occasions. There are only a handful of reactors of the Three Mile Island design. I dont see another design of this type ever being built again.

You better get help with your reading comprehension before you hurt yourself. He was talking about Fukishima in Japan. Try reading the post for comprehension next time.
