Indian Point License

(1/3) > >>

navynukedoc:
So I am reading about the legal proceedings about Indian Point and their contest to get their license renewed. Seems like they are trailing on the popular vote and "experts" say that the plant can be removed from the grid without any negative consequences.

Any opinions or thoughts to as why or why not IP should or shouldn't get a renewal? Personal experiences are welcome as I have never worked there.

...Denault added that Entergy is open to a settlement with New York officials over the future of its controversial Indian Point nuclear plant, which is near New York City.

Well we know SONGS, Oyster, Kuwanee (sp?) And VY. But rumor has it Exelon is looking to cut operating costs by closing single unit plants.

I look at it like this, if they close 'em, we still have to decom 'em. There just won't be any refueling going on!

Besides, they are building some nice shiny AP 1000's down south. Just wait, we aren't done yet!!!!!

Dying industry. Exelon is thinking of closing Quad Cities too. It's not making money.
Of those reactors in the south I will venture only 2 will be completed and those will be the last 2 in the US ever,

Sort of a bowl of "garlic soup for the soul" observation for this fine Turkey Day....but absolutely spot on. The irony being that many of the single unit sites and IP being at risk economically comes not from bad engineering decisions, but the false economics of decremental market must-take wind from eagle shredders in Iowa and Illinois bidding into MISO and PJM markets.
