US net nuclear generation rises 2.1% in July from prior year: EIA

Washington (Platts)--20Sep2006

Net nuclear generation in the US during July totaled 72.2 million MWh, up
2.1% from July 2005 and 5.5% over the June 2006 total, the US Energy
Information Administration said Wednesday in its monthly flash estimates of
electric power data.

US nuclear generation from January to July rose 2.7% over the same period
last year, as the industry "continues to experience fewer days lost to planned
and forced maintenance," EIA said.
