Nuclear power plants in the United States have continued to improve their performance steadily over the past decade. In 2007, according to industry data, these plants achieved a record-low production cost of 1.68 cents per kilowatt hour and a record-high level of electricity production. This is a result of many high-performing nuclear fleets that have evolved since deregulation in 1997. Nuclear electricity generation is also expected to significantly offset increased carbon dioxide emissions and long-term climate change concerns.
