Chapter 305 Nuclear Power Plant
Over the years, the U.S. electricity market has grown tremendously, with huge generating capacity and an ample supply of electricity. However, the United States has a relatively backward power infrastructure, and the outdated power transmission network has caused large-scale power outages.
The United States is the world's largest producer and consumer of electricity, and electricity is also one of the most important energy sources in the United States, with a total of about 3.848 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) generated last year.
Electricity production in the United States comes primarily from power plants and utilities, while electricity sales are handled by utility grid management companies in several major regions of the country. Coal is the most important fuel in the electricity production structure, accounting for 50% of coal power. In addition, in the United States, nuclear power generation accounts for 20 percent, natural gas and other gas power generation accounts for 18 percent, hydroelectric power generation accounts for 7 percent, oil power generation accounts for only 2.5 percent, and the rest is renewable energy generation.
In the 70s of the last century, nuclear power generation in the United States has developed greatly. A total of 132 commercial nuclear power plants have been built so far, of which 104 are still in operation and three are planned. Although there have been serious accidents in history, in the past 30 years, enough attention has been paid to the safety of nuclear power plants, the safety standards of nuclear power plants have been greatly improved, and there have been no more accidents, and nuclear power is once again becoming a popular clean and safe energy source.

Jennifer, "What the hell did you do to Stephen? Where did the others go?
Li Zhuo shook his head, "Don't ask again, after I leave the United States, he will naturally return to his family, but whether the United States will let him go is not something I have to think about!"
Jennifer, "So where are we going now?"
Li Zhuo, "What I'm going to do next may be very resistant psychologically, so you should be mentally prepared first." ”
Jennifer's eyelids jumped, and a bad premonition came to her heart.
American Southern Power is a Southern-based electric holding company that is now the sixteenth largest electric utility in the world and the fourth largest in the United States. Through its four subsidiaries in Alaba, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi, Southern Power Corporation Hill has a total power generation capacity of more than 42,000 gigawatts, a total of 4.3 million customers, a total power coverage area of about 310,000 square kilometers, and a total transmission line length of more than 43,000 kilometers.
Southern Electric Power has a nuclear power plant, the Vogtle nuclear power plant, a large solar photovoltaic plant in New Mexico, and a large biomass power plant in Nacodochis County, Texas.
The first place Li Zhuo took Jennifer to was the Vogtle nuclear power station.
The United States has a larger land area than China, but its population is much smaller than that of China, and the power station is deserted within a radius of ten miles.
The entire power station was fenced off with iron railings.
Jennifer, "This is a nuclear power plant, what are we doing here?"
Li Zhuo, "Let me ask you a question first, I will go back to Huaxia in a few days, do you want to go back with me?"
Jennifer, "Didn't you say I was just your security advisor during your time in the United States?
Li Zhuo, "If I plan to hire you for a long time and let you stay on my side, are you willing?"
Jennifer thought about it very seriously, "How much can you pay me?"
Li Zhuo laughed, "Do you think that in this world, if you have requirements in terms of salary, there will be someone who will give you more than me?"
Jennifer shook her head, "Probably not!"
Li Zhuo, "Then you can go to Huaxia with me!"
Jennifer nodded, "Yes, can you tell me what we're doing here?"
Li Zhuo, "You'll know soon, wait for me in the car!"
After speaking, he got out of the car, walked to a relatively hidden place, jumped into the fence, and disappeared after a few dodges.
Jennifer was left outside alone, she knew that Li Zhuo definitely didn't have any good intentions when he came to this place this time, and it was estimated that eighty percent of them were here to sabotage, but he didn't understand that as the richest man and a top technology master with such powerful hacking skills, why did he put himself in the shoes of a nuclear power plant, which made her puzzled.
