11 Mar 2021 by Duke Energy
On March 7, 2021, Robinson Nuclear Plant celebrated 50 years of commercial operations, or more simply, 50 years of providing electricity to customers in the Carolinas. In 1971, the plant was the largest nuclear power plant constructed in the world and the first commercial nuclear plant in the southeast. In those 50 years, Robinson has exemplified the benefits of nuclear energy by operating safely, reliably and economically for decades.
