Farley Nuclear Generating Plant is located near Dothan, Alabama in the southern United States. The twin-unit nuclear power station  sits on a largely wooded and agricultural 1,850-acre (750\u00a0ha) site along the Chattahoochee River, approximately 5 miles (8.0\u00a0km) south of Columbia, Alabama in Houston County.

Construction of the plant began in 1970. Fluor Corporation of Irving, Texas was the general contractor. Unit 1 achieved commercial operation in December 1977. Unit\u00a02 began commercial operation in July\u00a01981. The total cost of the plant was about $1.57\u00a0billion. On May\u00a012, 2005, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved license renewal applications for both reactors at the site.  Unit\u00a01’s extended operating license is set to expire on June\u00a025, 2037 and Unit\u00a02’s on March\u00a031, 2041. Technology [ edit ] This plant has two Westinghouse reactors.

Operator (Licensee) = Southern Nuclear Operation Company. Surrounding population [ edit ] The NRC defines two emergency planning zones around nuclear power plants: a plume exposure pathway zone with a radius of 10 miles (16\u00a0km), concerned primarily with exposure to, and inhalation of, airborne radioactive contamination, and an ingestion pathway zone of about 50 miles (80\u00a0km), concerned primarily with ingestion of food and liquid contaminated by radioactivity. [4] The 2010 U.S. population within 10 miles (16\u00a0km) of Farley was 11,842, an increase of 8.0 percent in a decade, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data for msnbc.com. The 2010 U.S. population within 50 miles (80\u00a0km) was 421,374, an increase of 6.1 percent since 2000. Cities within 50 miles include Dothan (17 miles to city center). [5] Seismic risk [ edit ] The NRC’s estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Farley was 1 in 35,714, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.
