In the introduction, the article says that the USA produce "800 TWh of zero-emissions electricity per year". It is obvioulsy not zero-emission: green house gases are emitted in the process of building the plant, extracting and transporting the fuel and decomissionning the plant. 82.147.145.235 (talk) 05:24, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
- Fixed. --TuomoS (talk) 06:24, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
- its unfortunately says no emissions again, should we fix? Rynoip (talk) 03:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Under the section titled 'Safety' in the third paragraph 'With a death rate of 0.07 per TWh' should be changed to 'With a death rate of 0.03 per TWh'. The source is citation 199 in the nuclear power page, which is this article [1]. This is the source cited for the original statistic, but I believe it was copied incorrectly.

- Fixed. It was not copied incorrectly, but the source has been updated in 2022, based on more recent analysis and estimates. --TuomoS (talk) 20:38, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
- Looking back through, the graph shown at the start of the safety section uses the old statistic and also should be corrected. ThePiMaven (talk) 20:14, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The vertical axis is labelled in TWh which is a unit of energy not power. I guess the graph is of TWh/year which is a (weird) unit for power. 2,500 TWh/year is 290GW BTW. Does this bother anyone else? PeterGrecian (talk) 08:18, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I don't see what's the problem. That's the energy generated each year (not the installed capacity). This is the standard way and units for displaying this information. The convention in energy engineering and energy science is to use kW and multiples for installed capacity and kWh and multiples (including TWh) for energy generated. --Ita140188 (talk) 12:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Ita is correct. Read other power plant articles and about things like nameplate capacity and you'll see these are the standard units used. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:26, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Change number of employees from 556 to 329.
I’m an employee there and this is the number listed in our Outlook directory. It is well known publicly that we had significant layoffs in 2024 (~28% in January and then ~10% more in July). 131.150.2.197 (talk) 15:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Not done: I think you added this to the wrong article. This is the article on nuclear power. It does not have any employee counts that I can find. meamemg (talk) 17:05, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
