Robert Emmett Ginna nuclear power plant

Robert Emmett Ginna nuclear power plant in context

By gross operating capacity Robert Emmett Ginna nuclear power plant is the 54th largest of 54 operating nuclear sites in the United States, holding 1% of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 166th of 172 worldwide.

Its operating unit started up in 1970; the unit is 56.0 years old, older than the median of 45.0 in the United States.

The one unit with both construction and grid dates on record took 3.6 years from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 1960s is 5.0 years.

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Nine Mile Point nuclear power plant (78 km), James A Fitzpatrick nuclear power plant (79 km) and Darlington New nuclear power plant (130 km).

The current net rating of the unit differs from its design net capacity by +19.1% (470 MW at design, 560 MW now).

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.
