Nuclear power plants produce electricity for people, business and industry. Electricity is produced in a similar fashion as fossil fuel (i.e., coal, oil, etc.) power plants, using steam to drive a turbines which spin an electrical generator, producing the electricity.

Energy efficiency has always been a priority at Georgia-Pacific, and today Georgia-Pacific facilities self-generate enough energy to meet more than half the company's annual energy needs. As an added benefit, much of that energy is generated from burning renewable biomass fuels, such as bark, wood residue and by-products from the wood pulping process.
