Limerick Generating Station, located in Limerick Township, Montgomery
County, Pennsylvania, is a two-unit nuclear generation facility capable of
producing enough electricity for over 1 million homes. The plant site is
punctuated by two natural-draft hyperbolic cooling towers, each 507 feet
tall, which help cool the plant.
Limerick's two boiling water
reactors, designed by General Electric, are each capable of producing
1,143 net megawatts. Unit 1 began commercial operation in February 1986,
with Unit 2 going on-line in January 1990.
