?
Average fuel utilization — percent of the designed fuel cycle that this unit consumes before refueling, derived from the historical burn-down trajectory. Higher = more efficient operator (refuels with less margin remaining; closer to coastdown). Computed as 100% minus the unit's average refuel-point fuel %, using the last 3 years where available, otherwise lifetime average.

Outage Record

Outage Days by Year

?
Total days spent in outage each year, split by scheduled refueling (blue) and forced/unplanned (red). Lower totals indicate better reliability and outage execution. Hover for details.
Across its recorded history, Kewaunee has spent 386 days in scheduled refueling outages and 253 days in forced or unplanned outages. Taller bars mark the years with the most downtime.
?
Duration of each outage in days, shown chronologically. Green bars are scheduled refueling outages, red bars are forced/unscheduled. The orange dashed line marks the average duration. Extended outages (>180 days) and D&D periods are excluded.

Outage Duration Trend

Kewaunee has 23 outages plotted here, averaging 26 days each. The most recent, in Apr 2012, was a scheduled refueling outage lasting 34 days.
?
Scheduled refueling outage durations over time. Green bars are at or below this unit's average, amber up to 30% above it, red beyond that. The dashed line is the average. Shorter outages mean better execution.

Refueling Duration Trend

Kewaunee has completed 9 scheduled refueling outages on record, averaging 43 days each. The most recent, in Apr 2012, ran 34 days.
?
Time in days from first power generation (>0%) to sustained full power (≥95% for 2+ consecutive days) after each scheduled refueling outage. The dashed line marks the average. Includes startup testing holds and power dips.

Startup Duration Trend

After a refueling outage, Kewaunee takes about 7 days to climb from first power back to full power. That average is drawn from 9 startups on record, and the most recent took 3 days.
?
Daily reactor power over the 120 days before each scheduled refueling outage, one line per refueling, lined up on the day the outage began. A coastdown is the slow decline as the fuel runs out near the end of a cycle. The highlighted line is the most recent refueling and fainter lines are older. Counts and medians cover coastdowns of a week or longer. A shutdown straight from full power, with no decline ahead of it, is what a forced outage looks like.

Coastdown Before Refueling

0 of 9 refuelings
Kewaunee has not coasted down for a week or longer before any of its 9 refuelings on record. It holds power until the shutdown itself.
?

Power History

Over its operating life, Kewaunee has run at about 86% of its rated capacity. Across the last 12 reported months it averaged 85.0%. On the chart, green stretches near the top are full-power running, amber marks reduced power (50 to 89%), and red drops toward zero are outages.

Outage History & Daily Power Log
