There are 99 nuclear power reactor units operating in the US. Staying up to date with the latest nuclear plant news is easy to do in the age of social media — if you have their Twitter handles. All the relevant feeds are conveniently compiled here.
Many nuclear power plants have their own social media channels. If the plants don’t, then the power company does. I’ve searched out all the Twitter channels and listed them here so you don’t have to. If you spot an error, send me an email and let me know. I’ll fix it.
Several nuclear power plants have their own dedicated Twitter feeds. The ones that do are listed below:

For maximum convenience, I have already built a list of these feeds (and the nuclear-specific feeds from the list below). You can subscribe to it by clicking here: Subscribe to the US Nuclear Power Plants Twitter List.
Most plants don’t have their own Twitter feed, but their parent company might. The companies below own one or more nuclear power plants in the US (except the NRC, which is distinguished in its own right):
