Beaver Valley Power Station is anuclear power plant on theOhio River covering 1,000 acres (400 ha) nearShippingport, Pennsylvania, United States, roughly 27 miles (43 km) northwest ofPittsburgh. The plant is operated byVistra Corp and power is generated by twoWestinghousepressurized water reactors. As of 2023, it is the fourth largest employer inBeaver County.[2]

Beaver Valley 1 was used as the reference design for the French nuclear plant inFessenheim.[3]

In 2018, the previous ownerFirstEnergy Solutions filed for bankruptcy and announced the plant would begin deactivation by 2021. However, upon emergence from bankruptcy in 2020 as new owner Energy Harbor, the shutdown of the plant was reversed largely due to thenGovernor Tom Wolf's decision to join theRegional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.[4] Energy Harbor and the power plant were acquired by Vistra Corp in 2024.[5]

Surrounding population

[edit]

TheNuclear Regulatory Commission defines two emergency planning zones around nuclear power plants: a plume exposure pathway zone with a radius of 10 miles (16 km), concerned primarily with exposure to, and inhalation of, airborneradioactive contamination, and an ingestion pathway zone of about 50 miles (80 km), concerned primarily with ingestion of food and liquid contaminated by radioactivity.[6]

The 2010 U.S. population within 10 miles (16 km) of Beaver Valley was 114,514, a decrease of 6.6 percent in a decade, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data for msnbc.com. The 2010 U.S. population within 50 miles (80 km) was 3,140,766, a decrease of 3.7 percent since 2000. Cities within 50 miles include Pittsburgh (27 miles away, located upriver from the station).[7]

Seismic risk

[edit]

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Beaver Valley was Reactor 1: 1 in 20,833; Reactor 2: 1 in 45,455, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.[8][9]
