The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on July 19 approved a request by Entergy Operations Inc. to increase the power generating capacity of Unit 1 at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station by 15 percent. The power uprate for the boiling water reactor will increase the plant’s power generating capacity from about 1,300 to 1,500 MWe.
Speaking of corrupt....seems like whenever I hear of an especially bad US nuke plant, the name Entergy also comes us.
