Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant
From Freepedia
The Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant located on the Chesapeake Bay in Lusby, Calvert County, Maryland. The plant has two Combustion Engineering pressurized water reactors.
In 2000, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission extended the license of the plant for 20 additional years, making Calvert Cliffs the first nuclear plant in the United States to receive such an extention. The plant was visited by President George W. Bush in June 2005, the first time a president had visited a nuclear power plant in nearly three decades.
Constellation Energy, owner of Calvert Cliffs, intends to build a new nuclear reactor either at this site or at Nine Mile Point. See Nuclear Power 2010 Program.
