Abstract

(Bloomberg) -- Duke Energy Corp. proposed installing a small nuclear reactor at a North Carolina power plant and ending the facility's decades-long use of coal, part of a sweeping plan to supply the region's growing electricity needs. Duke also is looking for another location - likely another coal-fired plant - to host a second, similarly sized reactor and could add more reactors to each site later on, said spokesman Bill Norton. Duke, which operates 11 nuclear reactors at six plants across North and South Carolina, estimates that the two states will need an additional 35,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity generation within 15 years.
