For 2008, year-to-date nuclear generation was 607.2 billion kilowatt-hours, compared to 607.8 bkWh in 2007 (0.1 percent decrease).
2008 year-to-date nuclear generation has closely followed the record 2007 nuclear generation all year. Last fall, 22 reactors were down for refueling whereas this fall 25 reactors are projected to refuel. It remains to be seen if 2008 can break last year’s record for total nuclear generation.
