Description: This nuclear power plant is located on a 5,228-acre site in Callaway County, Missouri.
Callaway unit 1 is the State's sole commercial nuclear unit.
Ownership: The Callaway plant
is owned (100 percent) by the Ameren
Corporation and operated by AmerenUE.
The Impact of
the Nuclear Industry on Missouri:
- News items: Missouri’s nuclear power plant avoided
approximately 34,000 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions
- Highlights
- Nuclear-provided Electricity Generation
- Competition in the State Electricity Market
- Environmental Trends: Emissions levels
- Various Links to related sites.
Sources: Capacity, for purposes of this report, is the net summer capability as reported in Energy Information Administration (EIA) survey form 860, “Annual Electric Generator Report.” Capacity Factor is a calculation in which the maximum possible generation
(based on net summer capability) is divided into the actual generation than multiplied by 100 to get a percentage. Generation is the electricity
output reported by plant owners on EIA survey form 906. Type of Unit: All U.S. commercial reactors currently in operation are one of two types:
BWR (boiling water reactor) or PWR (pressurized light water reactor). The type is identified in EIA’s Nuclear Power Generation and Fuel
Cycle Report. Both the On-line Date and the License Expiration Date are reported annually in Information Digest by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
