A coal-to-nuclear (C2N) transition could help boost U.S. nuclear capacity beyond 350 GWe, a report found. The current US nuclear fleet has a total capacity of 95 GWe. 80% of potential sites are suitable for accommodating advanced nuclear power plants of different sizes and types, depending on the size of the site being retrofitted. Coal power plant owners and their communities have economic potential in the C2N transition, according to a new report. Using existing land, grid connections, office buildings, electrical equipment and civil infrastructure can also save millions of dollars in upfront costs. The report underwent independent peer review by experts in systems engineering and regional economic modeling.
