technology

The Babcock & Wilcox steam generator in Barberton, Ohio before being transported to the Oconee Nuclear Power Plant (1970)

The nuclear power plant has three blocks with pressurized water reactors from Babcock & Wilcox , each with an output of 885 MW. Units 1 and 2 were put into operation in 1973 and Unit 3 in 1974. The plan is to take the refurbished blocks off the grid in 2034.

The pressurized water reactor is a 203.2 mm steel container with a weight of 660 t, which is protected by a 1.36 m thick reinforced concrete building. According to Spiegel.de, the emergency cooling systems in the reactors were never functional.

Data of the reactor blocks

The Oconee nuclear power plant has a total of three blocks :

Reactor block	Reactor type	net power	gross power	start of building	Network synchronization	Commercialization of essential operation	switching off processing
Oconee-1	Pressurized water reactor	847 MW	891 MW	11/06/1967	05/06/1973	07/15/1973
Oconee-2	Pressurized water reactor	848 MW	891 MW	11/06/1967	December 05, 1973	09/09/1974
Oconee-2	Pressurized water reactor	859 MW	900 MW	11/06/1967	September 18, 1974	December 16, 1974
