St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant

St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant is a twin nuclear power station located on Hutchinson Island South, Florida, near Ft. Pierce, Florida in St. Lucie County. Both units are Combustion Engineering pressurized water reactors. Florida Power & Light commissioned the station in 1976 and continues to own and operate the station. The plant contains two nuclear reactor containment buildings and does not have the classic hyperboloid cooling towers instead using ocean water for secondary coolant.

In 2003 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission extended the operating licenses of the St. Lucie units by twenty years, to March 1, 2036 for unit 1 and April 6, 2043 for unit 2 [1].
