Callaway Nuclear Generating Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Callaway Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power plant located on a 5,228-acre (21 km²) site in Callaway County, Missouri, near Fulton, Missouri. It began operating on October 18, 1984. The plant, which is the state's only commercial nuclear unit, has one Westinghouse four-loop pressurized water reactor and a General Electric turbine-generator. It is fully owned by the Ameren Corporation and operated by AmerenUE.
According to Ameren, Callaway produces about a quarter of AmerenUE's power.
In 2001, Callaway set a plant record for capacity utilization, producing 101.1 percent of its rated electrical output, ranking it among the world's top reactors, according to the Energy Information Administration.[citation needed]
On November 19, 2005, its workers completed the replacement of all four steam generators in 63 days, 13 hours, setting a world record for a four-loop plant.[1]
