?
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.

NukeWorker's Operational Excellence Score is a composite 0–100 ranking of every active US nuclear unit across 7 measured performance metrics, grouped into three sub-scores:
• Reliability — capacity factor, forced outage days, B2B avg streak
• Efficiency — fuel utilization, refuel duration
• Discipline — startup duration, scram count
Each unit's metric is converted to a percentile across the active fleet. Sub-score = average of its components; composite = average of the three sub-scores. Use the time-window toggle below to switch between 3yr / 5yr / lifetime.

?
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

Surry 1 has 36 outages plotted here, averaging 23 days each. The most recent, in Oct 2025, was a scheduled refueling outage lasting 78 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, Surry 1 takes about 4 days to climb from first power back to full power. That average is drawn from 18 startups on record, and the most recent took 5 days.
?
Estimated fuel remaining in the current cycle, expressed as a percentage of the unit's typical cycle. Starts at 100% when the unit returns to power post-refuel and drops as full-power-days are burned. Days at reduced power burn fuel proportionally — so a unit with significant downtime (high burn deficit) drops slower and ends up with MORE fuel left than its calendar position would suggest. Coastdown threshold around 15%. Toggle to overlay past cycles on a normalized "days into cycle" axis to see how aggressively this unit historically burns down before refuel.

Surry 1 has an estimated 48.5% of its fuel left. Across its last 17 cycles, it has refueled with an average of 1.1% remaining.

Power History

Over its operating life, Surry 1 has run at about 90.8% of its rated capacity. Across the last 12 reported months it averaged 78.0%. On the chart, flat stretches near the top are full-power running and drops to zero are outages.
This table logs every recorded outage for Surry 1, 36 in all since 2000. Of those, 18 were scheduled refueling outages and 18 were unplanned or forced. The typical outage lasted about 23 days. Where the Scheduled column shows (Model), the date is a NukeWorker projection because the utility had not published one.
