What kind of nuclear technology is proposed for the potential new nuclear generating facility?
After carefully reviewing the options, FPL chose an advanced design from Westinghouse called the AP 1000 as its preferred technology. The Westinghouse reactor has received Design Certification from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It is based on a proven design that provides safe, reliable and cost-effective generation today. FPL has not signed a contract. We are currently discussing the scope of the work, the cost and the schedule with Westinghouse.
