Grand Gulf nuclear power station is a General Electric boiling water reactor. It lies on a 2,100 acre (8.5 km²) site near Port Gibson, Mississippi. The site is wooded and contains two lakes. The plant has a 520 foot (158 m) cooling tower.

Grand Gulf is operated by Entergy Nuclear and owned jointly by System Energy Resources, Inc., (90 %) and by South Mississippi Electric Power Association (10 %).

On September 22, 2005 it was announced that Grand Gulf had been selected as the site for an ESBWR boiling water reactor. For details, see Nuclear Power 2010 Program.
