Resumen de A nuclear dawn for the US
One could be forgiven for thinking a new era of nuclear energy is under way in the US. On Mar 11, 2013, crews at the Virgil C Summer power plant in South Carolina completed a 51-hour marathon of pouring concrete and three days later, in Burke County GA, another concrete base was completed. The two reactors that will sit on these bases will use uranium fission to heat water and drive a turbine, and each will add more than 1,100 MW of capacity to the region's power grid when they come online in 2016 or 2017--without emitting carbon dioxide.
