caption_attribution_description: The 821,000- Kilowatt FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant on the shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Scriba near Oswego is scheduled for completion in 1973. The New York State Power Authority reports that the plant is 80 percent completed at the time this photograph was made.
context_page_description: The James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant is located in the Town of Scriba, near Oswego, New York, on the southeast shore of Lake Ontario. The nuclear power plant has one General Electric boiling water reactor. The 900-acre site is also the location of two other units at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station.
  The power plant was originally built by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation. FitzPatrick and half of the Nine Mile Point site were transferred to the Power Authority of the State of New York, now called the New York Power Authority. It was named after Power Authority Chairman James A. FitzPatrick. On November 2, 2015, Entergy Corp. announced its plans to shut down FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Oswego County after the reactor runs out of fuel in 2016. To avoid closure, Exelon Generation agreed to purchase the plant from Entergy at the price of $110 million.
  On April 1, 2017, Exelon assumed ownership and operation of the plant.
