Nov 14, 2023 - The future of nuclear power is smaller, more modular

North Carolina is home to five nuclear power plants — there are two near Charlotte in the western part of the state, two near Wilmington in the southeastern part of the state, and the newest plant, Shearon Harris nuclear plant in New Hill in southwest Wake County, went online in 1987. Since then, North Carolina`s population has grown 70%. Now, the state`s number one power provider wants to add to its nuclear portfolio. However, WRAL found the future of nuclear has a much different look. The Shearon Harris plant sits on 5,400 acres near Cary and Apex. The cooling tower, which looks more like a smoke stack, is visible for miles. Duke Energy has plans to add two nuclear power plants that provide about a third of the energy as Shearon Harris, but need about 1/10th of the land. To Duke`s power customers, that means more reliable, cleaner energy, less nuclear waste and more flexibility to provide power in the fastest growing parts of the state.
