NEW YORK, April 29 (Reuters) - U.S. electric utility

Entergy ( ETR ) is looking to expand its nuclear power output

by upgrading its existing plants, while it considers advanced

nuclear technologies in its territory across the U.S. South,

company executives said on Tuesday.

U.S. nuclear power, which is virtually carbon free, has been

in high demand in recent years, particularly from growing

electricity use from Big Tech with climate-drive energy pledges.
