From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Comanche Peak nuclear power plant is located in Somervell County, Texas. It relies on nearby Squaw Creek Reservoir for cooling water. The plant has about 1,300 employees. It is operated by TXU.
Construction of the two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors began in 1974. Unit 1, rated at 1084MWe, came online on April 17, 1990. Unit 2, 1124MWe, followed on April 6, 1993. As of 2006 Unit 2 was the second-last power reactor to come online in the USA, followed only by Watts Bar 1.
