Companies announce proposed nuclear power campus in NEKY

VANCEBURG A proposed nuclear power campus along the Ohio River in northeastern Kentucky could become the largest in the United States, with plans for as many as six commercial nuclear reactors capable of generating a combined 6.6 gigawatts of electricity.

The Nuclear Company and Lewis County-based Trace Creek have announced a partnership to advance Prosperity One, a proposed nuclear generating campus at Carrs Bottom in Lewis County, approximately 75 miles northeast of Lexington.
