Krško nuclear power plant

Krško nuclear power plant in context

Krško nuclear power plant is the only operating nuclear site in Slovenia on record, so it holds all of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 162nd of 172 operating sites worldwide by gross capacity.

Its operating unit started up in 1983; the unit is 43.0 years old.

The one unit with both construction and grid dates on record took 6.5 years from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 1980s is 7.3 years.

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Paks nuclear power plant (266 km).

The current net rating of Unit 1 differs from its design net capacity by +8.9% (632 MW at design, 688 MW now).

The tracker lists a planned retirement year, a forecast and not a decision on record, for 1 operating unit: Unit 1 (2043).

Build time by unit

Nearest tracked nuclear sites

How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.
