# U.S. Nuclear Power Plant Outage Data

> U.S. Nuclear Power Plant Outage Data is a paid API for AI agents from x402-seller.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the latest daily U.S. nuclear power plant outage statistics including total capacity, megawatts offline, and percent outage nationwide, sourced from the NRC via EIA.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability u-s-nuclear-power-plant-outage-data-938dd536
```

Example prompt: What's the latest daily U.S. nuclear power outage data — how many megawatts are offline, total capacity, and what percentage of nuclear capacity is currently out of service?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the most recent official daily U.S. nuclear power plant outage figures from the NRC/EIA — particularly for energy market analysis, grid reliability monitoring, or electricity price modeling. Prefer this over manual EIA data scraping or general web search when you need structured, machine-readable outage metrics.

## Known failure modes

- EIA/NRC data feed unavailable — service may return an error or stale data
- Data not yet updated for the current day — may return previous day's figures
- Network timeout from upstream government data source
- HTTP 402 payment required if x402 micropayment not processed

## How this service works

Current U.S. nuclear power outage levels, updated daily: nationwide total generating capacity, megawatts offline, and percent outage. Aggregate figure for the whole U.S. reactor fleet, not broken out by individual plant or reactor. Sourced from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission via EIA.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the report date, total U.S. nuclear capacity in MW, megawatts currently offline (outageMw), percent of capacity offline (percentOutage), and the data source attribution (NRC via EIA).
