GE is supplying Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB of Osthammar, Sweden (a
subsidiary of state-run utility, Vattenfall AB) with its Power Range
Neutron Monitor (PRNM) system, based on GE's high-speed digital
technology .
The primary function of the PRNM is to monitor the reactor power
level and initiate automatic protective actions to ensure compliance
with plant safety limits. The third and fourth days examine fuel
cycle closure elements, including spent fuel transport, storage, and
recycling/reprocessing . The other four
generating plants are fueled by coal.

gain valuable insight and understanding., Following a two-
year operating cycle during which the unit generated a record amount of
electricity, Progress Energy's Crystal River nuclear unit will begin a
scheduled shutdown Saturday, Oct.
Since the unit resumed operations after the 2003 refueling outage, it has
generated more than 14 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough
electricity to serve needs of more than 1 million typical homes, 24 hours a
day, for one year.
