The three-reactor facility was the first in the United States to generate over 500 million MWhr of electricity, and can power 1.9 million homes each day.hile only 19% of the nation's total electricity needs are fulfilled by the energy source -- which pales in comparison to France's 75% -- America's capacity of 102 gigawatts is nearly more than the next three countries combined.
