Located in New Hill, North Carolina, in the United States, about 20 miles (30 km) southwest of Raleigh, it generates 900 MWe, has a 523 foot (160 m) natural drafttt cooling tower, and uses Harris Lake for cooling. The reactor achieved criticality in January 1987 and began providing power commercially in May of that year.
The Shearon Harris site, originally designed for four reactors, has been selected by Progress Energy as the site of a proposed additional reactor .
