Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, located on the west bank of the Conowingo Pond (Susquehanna River) in York County, Penn., is a 3-unit nuclear generating facility. Unit 1 was a 40-megawatt experimental High Temperature Helium-Cooled and Graphite-moderated reactor. During its seven-year life (1967-74), Unit 1 provided valuable technical and cost data to U.S. utilities for application to larger plants.

Units 2 and 3 are boiling water reactors capable of generating 1,093 megawatts each. Both units began commercial operation in 1974. Peach Bottom is co-owned by Exelon Nuclear, PSEG Power, LLC, Delmarva Power and Light Company and Atlantic City Electric Company. Exelon Nuclear operates Peach Bottom.
