The CDSV Nuclear Exchange Program was formed in 1994
at the direction of the chief nuclear officers of Carolina
Power & Light Co., Duke Power Co., South
Carolina Electric & Gas Co., and Virginia
Power Co., to find new and better ways to enhance plant
safety and quality, and increase nuclear electricity
generation while lowering overall nuclear productions
costs. CDSV participants believe these objectives may be
accomplished through mutually beneficial benchmarking
activities and the open exchange of best industry
practices. Participating utilities in the CDSV Nuclear
Exchange Program each expect to achieve higher level of
plant operations, excellence through inter-utility
teamwork and the mutual exchange of information,
resources, and services.
Nuclear plants represented in the exchange are
CP&L’s Harris, H.B. Robinson, and Brunswick; the
Oconee, Catawba and McGuire stations operated by Duke
Power, SCE&G’s Summer; and Virginia Power’s
Surry and North Anna. Together they represent more than
14,500 MW of nuclear electricity generation. This is 14
percent of total installed U.S. nuclear generation, 4
percent of installed global nuclear capacity.
