NRC RENEWS OPERATING LICENSE OF 

FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR PLANT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 20 YEARS 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the operating license of the James A. 

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant for an additional 20 years. 

The FitzPatrick plant, located 8 miles northeast of Oswego, N.Y., began commercial 

operations in 1975, and its operating license was set to expire in 2014. The licensee, Entergy 

Nuclear Operations, Inc., submitted its license renewal application Aug. 1, 2006. With the 

renewal, signed Sept. 8, the license is extended until Oct. 17, 2034. 

The NRC’s environmental review for this license renewal is described in a site-specific 

supplement to the NRC’s “Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Power Plants” (NUREG-1437, Supplement 31), issued last January. The review 

concluded there were no environmental impacts that would preclude renewal of the license for 

environmental reasons. Public meetings to discuss the environmental review were held near the 

plant Oct. 12, 2006, and Aug. 1, 2007. 

After carefully reviewing the plant’s safety systems and specifications, the staff 

concluded that there were no safety concerns that would preclude license renewal, because the 

licensee had demonstrated the capability to manage the effects of plant aging. The final “Safety 

Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power 

Plant” was published last January. In addition, NRC conducted inspections of the plant to verify 

information submitted by the licensee. The reports relating to the FitzPatrick renewal are 

available on the NRC Web site at: 

http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/fitzpatrick.html. 

On March 20, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards - an independent body of 

technical experts which advises the Commission - issued its recommendation that the operating 

license for FitzPatrick be renewed. That recommendation is contained in “Report on the Safety 

Aspects of the License Renewal Application for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant.”

#### The People of the State of Illinois, Defendant in Error, *vs.*Ralph Spector *et al.,*Plaintiffs in Error.

*Opinion filed September*27, 1963.

*555Robert W. Heinze, Harold H. Winer, and Sterling S. Suga, of Chicago, for plaintiff in error.

William G. Clark, Attorney General, of Springfield, and Daniel P. Ward, State’s Attorney, of Chicago, (Fred G. Leach and E. Michael O’Brien, Assistant Attorneys General, and Edward J. Hladis and William J. Martin, Assistant State’s Attorneys, of counsel,) for the People.

Mr. Chief Justice Klingbiel

delivered the opinion of the court:

After a bench trial in the criminal court of Cook County Ralph Spector and Sam Testa were found to have violated the conspiracy statute. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1959, chap. 38, par. 139.) Each was sentenced to the penitentiary, Spector for a term of one to five years and Testa for a term of one to three years. Contending that the evidence fails to establish guilt, they seek direct review by writ of error in this court.

The Criminal Code directs that “Appeals from and writs of error to Circuit Courts, the Superior Court of Cook County, the Criminal Court of Cook County, County Courts and City Courts, in all criminal cases below the grade of felony shall be taken directly to the Appellate Court, and in all criminal cases above the grade of misdemeanors, shall be taken directly to the Supreme Court.” (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1959, chap. 38, par. 780JL) The statute which defendants were convicted of violating prescribes punishment in part by a penitentiary sentence and in part by fine as one of the penalties. It provides that offenders “shall be fined not exceeding $2,000 or shall be imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding one year, or shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary for a term of not less than one year and not exceeding five years, or may be so fined and so imprisoned in the county jail or penitentiary.” Ill. Rev. Stat. 1959, chap. 38, par. 139.

When an offense may be punished by imprisonment *556in the penitentiary, or by fine only, or by imprisonment in the penitentiary and by fine, in the discretion of the court or jury, it is only a misdemeanor. *(People*v. *Bain,*359 Ill. 455 ; *Herman*v. *People,*131 Ill. 594.) Thus the conspiracy defined by the section in question is below the grade of felony, and a writ of error can be sued out of the Appellate Court only. *People*v. *Basuris,*360 Ill. 192.

There are no constitutional questions involved in the review sought (cf. *People*v. *Beeftink,*21 Ill.2d 282), nor is there any other question present giving this court jurisdiction for direct review. The cause will therefore be transferred to the Appellate Court for the First District.

*Cause transferred.*
#### § 734.202 Permitted activities.

Employees may take an active part in political activities, including political management and political campaigns, to the extent not expressly prohibited by law and this part.

NRC ANNOUNCES OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST HEARING ON LICENSE 

RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION 

 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission today announced the opportunity to request a hearing 

on an application to renew the operating license for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station for 

an additional 20 years. 

 Palo Verde’s three pressurized-water reactors are located about 55 miles west of Phoenix, 

Ariz. The plant owner, Arizona Public Service Co., submitted the renewal application Dec. 11, 2008 

and supplemented the application on April 14. The current operating licenses for Palo Verde Units 

1, 2 and 3 expire June 1, 2025; April 24, 2026; and Nov. 25, 2027, respectively. 

 The NRC staff has determined that the application contains sufficient information for the 

agency to formally “docket,” or file, the application and begin its safety and environmental reviews. 

Docketing the application does not preclude requesting additional information as the reviews 

proceed, nor does it indicate whether the Commission will renew the license. 

A notice of opportunity to request a hearing has been published in the Federal Register 

(http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-11388.pdf), and the deadline for requesting a hearing is 

July 15. Petitions may be filed by anyone whose interest may be affected by the license renewal and 

who wishes to participate as a party in the proceeding. A request for a hearing and a petition for 

leave to intervene must be filed through the NRC’s E-Filing system. Anyone wishing to file should 

contact the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at HEARINGDOCKET@nrc.gov at least five days 

before the filing deadline to request a digital ID certificate and allow for the creation of an 

electronic docket. More information on the hearing process is available on the NRC Web site at: 

http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/hearing.html. 

 The Palo Verde renewal application is posted on the NRC Web site at: 

http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/palo-verde.html. License 

renewal reviews typically take 22 months with no hearing, or 30 months if a hearing is granted.

NRC SENDS SPECIALISTS TO VERMONT YANKEE 

TO REVIEW COOLING TOWER LEAK

 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission launched a special inspection Sunday into 

the circumstances surrounding Friday’s leak in one of the cooling towers at the Vermont 

Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon, Vt., sending structural specialists to the plant. 

The inspectors will begin work at the site Monday. 

 In addition, NRC Chairman Dale Klein dispatched the agency's senior career 

executive, Executive Director for Operations Bill Borchardt, to the plant to consult with 

the inspectors and plant officials Monday afternoon and report back to the Chairman and 

Commissioners. 

"While Friday's leak was not in the one cooling cell considered safety-related, we 

know there is significant public interest in this event. We need to independently verify 

that the safety-related cell is structurally sound. Even though the remaining cells in the 

cooling towers do not perform a safety function, we need to understand that Entergy is 

getting to the bottom of the problems so that the safety-related cell is not impacted,” said 

NRC Region I Administrator Samuel J. Collins. 

Vermont Yankee has two cooling towers, each consisting of eleven cells. Only 

one cell in the west unit is considered to be safety-related. 

 On Friday, July 11, plant operator Entergy informed the NRC that plant personnel 

discovered a pipe joint leaking an estimated 60 gallons per minute in a non-safety-related 

cooling cell in the east cooling tower. The leak occurred when the supply header, which 

carries 90,000 gallons per minute of water, sagged after the underlying horizontal support 

beam broke away from the vertical column to which it was bolted. 

Minor cracks were also found to supporting members on two of the west cooling 

tower cells, including one that sustained a pipe break and partial collapse last August. 

The company reduced power to ensure the plant met Vermont cooling water discharge

temperature limits for water being returned to the Connecticut River. The safety-related 

cell was not affected. 

 Entergy’s initial review indicates Friday’s leak does not share the same cause as 

the August 2007 cooling tower collapse, which was attributed to degradation of the wood 

in the cooling tower. The plant owner is conducting a root cause analysis of the 

problem. 

 NRC’s resident inspector staff at Vermont Yankee have been working through the 

weekend ensuring that Entergy’s evaluation of the condition of the towers and analysis of 

the cause of the leak and sagging have been thorough and comprehensive. The NRC also 

will evaluate Entergy’s planned actions to repair the cooling towers and return them to 

service.
