Surry Green Energy Center nuclear power plant

Surry Green Energy Center nuclear power plant is a nuclear site in United States with 6 units on record. None is currently operating.

Surry Green Energy Center nuclear power plant in context

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Surry nuclear power plant (1 km), Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant (143 km) and Shearon Harris nuclear power plant (265 km).

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.

Elevation is read at the listed coordinates from a 30 m terrain model (SRTM 30 m). Two independent models differ by a median of 6 m across our plants and by up to about 40 m on steep or coastal ground, and a point on a shoreline can read as sea level. Distance to the water is measured to a generalised 1:10 million coastline, so a few kilometres or less is not resolved. This is context, not a design-basis or flood-risk figure.
