For the first 11 months of 2010, nuclear generation is 0.9% higher than the same period in 2009.<\/a> For 2010, nuclear generation was 732.9 billion kilowatt-hours compared to 726.3 bkWh for the same period in 2009 and 734.5 bkWh in 2007 (the record year for nuclear generation). In 2007, nuclear power generated 806.5 billion kilowatt-hours (KWh) in the U.S. <\/p>\n NEI is reporting that 2007 was the peak for US nuclear generation but the World Nuclear Association information is that the peak was 2008 with 809 billion kWh.<\/A><\/p>\n For November 2010, nuclear generation was 62.3 billion kilowatt-hours compared to 59.1 billion kWh in November 2009. The average capacity factor for November 2010 was 85.9% compared to 81.4% in November 2009.<\/p>\n December capacity factors have been in the mid to high 90% range<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n 2007 finished in December with 72 billion kWh for near 100% capacity. 2010 will probably have 69-72.5 billion kWh for about 801.8 to 805 billion kWh. This will be up from 799 billion kWh in 2009.<\/p>\n If you liked this article, please give it a quick review on ycombinator<\/a><\/b> or StumbleUpon<\/A><\/B>.
