Safety Shutdown Kicks Off $800-Million Improvement

摘要

The owners of three large nuclear units in New Jersey plan to spend more than $800 million over the next five years on engineering and construction to correct nagging problems at the facilities, upgrade the units, and improve their reliability and profitability. Work on the 1,049-MW Hope Creek unit began this month. The two-unit, 2,212-MW Salem nuclear station will also be improved in the program. Both plants share a site on the lower Delaware River, in Salem County, N.J.
