There are about 7,304 operational power plants in the United States utilizing diverse technologies such as gas, coal, wind, solar, hydro and nuclear. All of these power facilities ultimately support 124 million households.
Reliability and safety are key drivers for power plant operators. Having just spent a week in India, I found that most locals are accustomed to disruptions in service. In fact, we experienced outages on almost a daily basis.
I’d like to take this opportunity to lead a brief dive into nuclear power. As you may know, there are 438 nuclear plants in operation around the world, 61 of which are located in the U.S.
