[quote:Anonymous Coward 38176253:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM4NTM3NzQxXzIxMzkwNkU2] [b]Xcel Energy still making big investments in nuclear power[/b] Three U.S. utilities are closing older nuclear reactors, but [b]Xcel Energy is investing $1.8 billion to keep its two Minnesota plants operating for another two decades.[/b] As some U.S. utilities are abandoning old nuclear power plants, Xcel Energy says it’s investing $1.8 billion to extend the life of its 40-year-old Minnesota reactors. At the company’s Prairie Island nuclear plant in Red Wing, Minn., 1,550 contract workers this fall will replace two massive steam generators — at $280 million, its single most costly improvement project. The plant was completed in 1974 at a cost of $350 million. The Minneapolis-based utility’s other reactor, in Monticello, Minn., also is getting a $600 million upgrade that aims to keep it running safely and boost its output by nearly 13 percent. http://www.startribune.com/business/211650531.html .
