Entergy to close FitzPatrick nuclear plant by 2017
Entergy will close the 850 megawatt FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Scriba by late 2016 or early 2017 after 40 years of operation. About 615 employees face layoffs or reassignment as low natural gas prices and weak market reforms drive the decision. The company plans severance or new positions and cites grid reliability and carbon free power as benefits. Governor Cuomo vowed to pursue legal avenues to intervene.

Entergy to close FitzPatrick Nuclear Plant amid local disappointment
Oswego officials voiced frustration Monday after Entergy announced the James A FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant will shut down, citing about 60 million dollars in annual losses. Union leader Ted Skerpon said employees were told at a 7 am meeting and questioned what state action could have kept the plant open. The decision leaves families facing hardship and prompts calls for state intervention.

No changes to NRC oversight of FitzPatrick
The NRC will continue regulatory oversight of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant as Entergy plans closure by late 2016 or early 2017. Two NRC resident inspectors will remain on site full time during the plant’s remaining operation, with focus on safety and security. The shutdown stems from economics amid natural gas price declines and projected losses, and the NRC notes it does not influence such decisions.
