Abstract:
Nuclear fuel rods were loaded into the reactor vessel at Unit Number One of Duke Power Company’s William P. McGuire Nuclear Generating Plant at Lake Norman in January. As of mid-April, the company still had not been authorized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to begin producing power at the facility. Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant near Southport is the only facility in North Carolina currently producing electricity through nuclear fission.
