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.
