Profile In Excellence
Duke Energy
McGuire
Nuclear Station is located on Lake Norman in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina. Lake Norman is the state’s
largest man-made lake and was built by Duke Power in
1963 by damming the Catawba River with Cowans Ford
Hydroelectric Station.
The lake provides cooling water for both McGuire and the
coal-burning Marshall Steam Station. McGuire was the
second of three nuclear stations designed and built by
Duke Power. Unit 1 began commercial operation in 1981,
followed by unit 2 in 1984. McGuire has two Pressurized
Water Reactors, which drive two Turbine/Generators rated
at 1200 Megawatts each.

Program Highlights:
Even among programs for nuclear powered electricity generating stations,
which are typically well supported, Duke Energy’s program stands head
and shoulders above all others.
Key features that resulted in this award included the long range
(3-year) training plan for PdM team members and the annual PdM Program
Health, Report which looks in depth at every aspect of the effort being
undertaken in this area of plant maintenance.
The summary of proposed action items in the report sets a major part of
the agenda for the following period for further program growth and
refinement. The documentation describing the program and current issues
is most comprehensive. Performance goals are challenging and performance
indicators very meaningful.
