US-based nuclear startup The Nuclear Company has announced plans for a nuclear power station in Kentucky that could have up to six Westinghouse AP1000 reactors with combined generating capacity of 6,600 MW.

The Nuclear Company said the proposed project, Prosperity One, would be located along the Ohio River in Lewis County, eastern Kentucky. If fully developed, it would become the largest nuclear power station in the US by installed generating capacity and the first commercial nuclear power plant in Kentucky.
