When Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, south of Miami, are taken offline for refueling this year, Florida Power & Light can bring them back with power outputs about 15% higher.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's permission means each reactor's production may go from about 700 MWe to about 823 MWe.
Unit 3 is due for refueling soon. Unit 4 is scheduled for later this year.
From the article: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved a request by Florida Power & Light (FP&L) to increase the power generating capacity of Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4, about 20 miles south of Miami, by 15 percent.
