Unit by unit
Each unit's rating, type and milestone dates as recorded by the Global Nuclear Power Tracker, with any correction we made to it. A dash or "not disclosed" means the source does not give the value.
Amarillo nuclear power plant 1 Cancelled
GNPT lists the model as ESBWR, a boiling water design, while typing the unit as a pressurised water reactor. The NRC's list of expected new plant applications shows Amarillo Power's design as the EPR, 2 units, near Amarillo, Texas. The EPR is a pressurised water reactor, so the type was right and the model was not. The capacity figure is left as GNPT gives it.
