EFFICIENCY BY THE TON 01/19/08 + At 5:22 in the morning, Unit 3 at the
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station completed its synchronization
to the electric grid after a 100-plus day refueling outage. This refueling
outage was especially notable because the plant officially completed
the replacement of the final two of six new steam generators. Along
with other efficiency improvements, the new steam generators, which
weigh in at 800 tons each, help increase the plant’s capacity by
210 megawatts.
