Peach Bottom Nuclear Generating Station

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, a nuclear power plant, is located 50 miles southeast of Harrisburg in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna River three miles north of the Maryland border.

The Philadelphia Electric Company became one of the pioneers in the commercial nuclear industry when it ordered Peach Bottom 1 in 1958. The U.S.'s first nuclear power plant had gone on line a year earlier. Peach Bottom Unit 1 was an experimental helium-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor. It operated from 1966 to 1974. The other two units, General Electric boiling water reactors, placed on-line in 1974, are still in operation on the 620-acre site. Both Units 2 and 3, originally rated at 3,514 megawatts thermal , equivalent to about 1,180 megawatts of electricity each, were uprated to 4,016 megawatts thermal , equivalent to about 1,382 megawatts net of electricity each in 2018. Their licenses were until 2033 and 2034 , but were extended by 20 years to 2053 and 2054 in 2020.
