This document discusses the decline and rebirth of nuclear power. It provides a case study of a nuclear power plant that originally had a 67% capacity factor but was able to improve its performance, reliability and costs through a series of power uprates, license renewal, and improvements to operations and maintenance. These efforts resulted in capacity factors over 95% and lower costs. The plant was also granted a 20-year renewal of its operating license, demonstrating the ongoing viability of nuclear power.
