Uprates

The NRC, which sets limits on maximum power levels, has been granting power "uprates" of as much as 15 percent at many plants, including Limerick, Peach Bottom, Salem and Hope Creek. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Since the start of 2000, the NRC has approved 82 of these so-called uprates. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Additionaly, there are more uprates planned in addition to the new construction just startng. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Our uprates program continues to provide us with a low risk, low-cost growth vehicle.

But critics of uprates point out that such analyses may fail to account for unforeseen accident scenarios. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Also in 2011, Exelon acquired a natural gas-fired plant in Texas and a solar plant in California, added 138 megawatts of nuclear capacity through "uprates" to existing plants and hashed out the details of a major merger with Constellation Energy. ❋ By Ju (2012)

Our performance was also recognized externally in 2010, with our uprates by Moody's and S&P bringing us to full investment-grade status.

In addition, we have filed new patent applications covering our seed and blanket, and all-metal fuel technologies for power uprates and longer fuel cycles.

But we are moving forward with our other uprates and plan to bring another 185 megawatts online between now and the end of 2013.

These projects also include uprates to Exelon's nuclear fleet and the acquisition of John Deere Renewables now Exelon Wind in 2010, which added 735 MWs to the company's portfolio of clean, renewable energy.

Still, the committee has endorsed uprates, based on assurances that any increased risk falls within federal safety standards and is countered by additional safety measures such as plant modifications and more frequent inspections. ❋ Unknown (2011)

I would had agreed but now the rates for their FTTC have been confirmed its possible some will still suffer slow uprates. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Actually ive changd my mind completely now, NOBODY should be having their taxes used to provide a so called fibre service that offers slower uprates than a company that give 2. 5Mb uprates on the normal copper network. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I take it before you wrote this you didnt see the latest news story about the crap uprates their FTTC will offer? ❋ Unknown (2010)

Shaw has certainly the platform to participate in many of these uprates with almost half the current reactors we do maintenance or outage work. ❋ Unknown (2010)

It's a couple-of-hundred-million-dollar contract where the engineering, procurement, and construction of these uprates increasing about additional megawatts to that particular unit in ❋ Unknown (2010)

Not the equivalent of a full large reactor from those uprates but the point is the cost without western style regulation was ten times less. ❋ Unknown (2010)

They will add another 300 MWe with another set of reactor uprates. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Not uprates to existing facilities, but new construction. ❋ Bringit (2010)
