The power plant is the third plant built (hence its name) as part of the 4,700-acre (1,900 ha) Crystal River Energy Complex which contains a single pressurized water reactor, while sharing the site with four fossil fuel power plants. The Crystal River reactor has been offline since September 2009 when a refueling and 20% uprate outage began. During the upgrade, workers discovered a gap in the concrete containment dome. The NRC investigated and found that the gap was caused by workers applying more pressure to the concrete than it could handle while cutting a hole through which to replace the steam generators.

The plant had originally been due to restart in April 2011, but the project encountered a number of delays.
