Second-quarter updates from Constellation: New PPAs, Crane restart, and more
Constellation signed new long-term power purchase agreements during the second quarter that will ultimately provide roughly 920 MW in nuclear power to these new partners.
These nuclear contracts were among the topics Constellation executives broached during the second-quarter earnings call, along with existing power generation, the Crane restart, and New York and Illinois’s nuclear energy plans.

The second Advances in Nuclear Nonproliferation Technology and Policy Conference (ANTPC) 2018 is rescheduled to take place during the ANS Winter Meeting due to widespread flooding following Hurricane Florence. This Meeting is co-sponsored by the American Nuclear Society's Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy and Fuel Cycle Waste Management Divisions. The goal is to stimulate conversation among nuclear science researchers, facilities operators, and policy makers and provide a venue for discussions on relevant policy and technical needs in nonproliferation.
