FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The station consists of a pressurized nuclear reactor steam supply system and a turbine ger,erator used for generation, transmission and distribution of electrc power.
The nuclear steam supply system is comprised of a reactor vessel e.a four primary coolant loops, each with a reactor coolant pump and steam generatcr. The net turbine generator output is a nominal 1,175 MWe. Wastewater discharges consist of a domestic sewage treatment plant, an oil water separator, circulating water, radwaste system, neutralization system, settling ponds, service and essential service water discharge via the essential service water discharco and a cooling impoundment discharge. In addition, there is a three cell domestic wastewater stabilization lagoon which does not discharge.
