The Crystal River 3 Nuclear Generation Station is a nuclear power plant, part of the Crystal River Energy Complex located in Citrus County, Florida near Crystal River, Florida. The site consists of approximately 4,700 acres (19 km²) and contains a single pressurized water reactor sharing the site with 4 fossil-fueled generators. The reactor is rated to produce 842 megawatts of electric power. The plant also has one Babcock and Wilcox pressurized water reactor.

Crystal River 3 was originally owned by Florida Progress Corporation (and operated by its subsidiary, Florida Power Corporation) but, in 2000, it was bought by Carolina Power & Light to form the new company, Progress Energy, which currently runs the plant.
