Information About

Clinton Nuclear Generating Station




The Clinton Nuclear Power Station is a General Electric Boiling Water Reactor located near Clinton, Illinois . It is on a 5,000 acre (20 km²) with an adjacent cooling reservoir on 14000 acre (57 km²). Clinton's final construction cost exceeded $4 billion, leading the plant to produce some of the most expensive power in the Midwest .

The Operator and Owner is the AmerGen Energy Company, but AmerGen itself is jointly owned by the Exelon Corporation . In September 2003, Excelon submitted an Early Site Permit to place a second reactor at the Clinton site. A decision on the permit will not be made until 2007. {Link without Title}
