The nuclear power station Joseph M. Farley ( English Farley Nuclear Generating Station ) with two pressurized water reactors located near Dothan in the State of Alabama . The operator is the Southern Nuclear Operating Company and the owner is the Alabama Power Company, both subsidiaries of the Southern Company .

In December 2016 it became known that Farley was also affected by the Creusot Forge scandal over falsified certificates. Parts of the steam generator in both blocks come from the polluted Areva daughter.

Block 1

Block 1 is a pressurized water reactor from Westinghouse . Construction began on August 16, 1972. Commissioning of the reactor took place on August 18, 1977. Block 1 was built as a twin construction with Block 2.

Block 2

Block 2 is a pressurized water reactor from Westinghouse . Construction began on August 16, 1972 at the same time as reactor block 1. On May 25, 1981, the block was connected to the grid. The total cost of building Blocks 1 and 2 is approximately $ 1.57 billion.

Data of the reactor blocks

The Farley Nuclear Power Plant has two blocks :

Reactor block	Reactor type	net power	gross power	start of building	Network synchronization	Commercialization of essential operation	switching off processing
Farley-1	Pressurized water reactor	851 MW	895 MW	08/16/1972	08/18/1977	December 01, 1977	(Planned for 2037)
Farley-2	Pressurized water reactor	860 MW	905 MW	08/16/1972	05/25/1981	07/30/1981	(Planned for 2041)
