Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Project

Built by IBEW Members, Peach Bottom Unit 1 was an experimental helium-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor. It operated from 1966 to 1974. The other two units, General Electric boiling water reactors, placed on-line in 1974, are still in operation on the 620-acre (2.5 km²) site. Both Units 2 and 3 are rated at 3,514 megawatts thermal (MWth), equivalent to about 1,180 megawatts of electricity (MWe) each. Their licenses run until 2033 (Unit 2) and 2034 (Unit 3).

IBEW Local 229 members perform continued maintenance and upgrade projects yearly including refueling outages on the reactors as scheduled by the NRC.
