Methodology
To identify America’s most powerful nuclear power plants, 24/7 Wall St. looked at the combined capacity of electricity production in megawatts (MWe) produced by nuclear power plants across the country according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Megawatt energy in electricity, the location of each nuclear power plant, and the number of reactors that contribute to the final megawatt output come from the NRC. All data is current as of 2021.
