Palo Verde The Palo Verde experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment using (anti-)neutrinos from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, a commercial power plant located 60 miles West of Phoenix, AZ. The Palo Verde experiment is a collaboration between our group at Stanford and groups from University of Alabama, Arizona State University and Caltech. Palo Verde will continue to take data during all 1999 to explore more subtle oscillation effect and perform other measurements in cosmic-ray physics. hep.stanford.edu /neutrino/PV/Palo_Verde.html

NucNews - August 21, 2004 Palo Verde is the nation's largest nuclear power plant and is commissioned for 40 years, although APS will likely seek an extension. Palo Verde Manager Dave Smith said the eventual replacement of water with air was because of the way the system was designed. All provisions regarding the preparation of the population for actions in case of a nuclear accident and issues of civil and legal responsibility for compensation of nuclear-related damages and its financial security are not sufficiently clear or detailed, their language is frequently chaotic or moot, thus they are mainly of a nominal nature. nucnews.net /nucnews/2004nn/0408nn/040821nn.htm

phoenixnewtimes.com News Safety Meltdown 2004-03-18 Printable Palo Verde's staffing decrease is not part of some mad rush for profits, Overbeck contends, arguing that it's an issue of efficiency, not profit-mongering. To understand the seriousness of problems at Palo Verde, you must first understand the unique, ultra-sophisticated, ultra-anal world of Misbeek, Garcia and the rest of the Palo Verde engineers and technicians whose job it is to keep the power pumping while ensuring the public is safe. Moreover, Palo Verde supplies about 30 million megawatt-hours each year to the Western power grid, and critics are concerned that increasing problems with sloppy safety practices will compromise the plant's ability to stay online and provide a steady stream of affordable and reliable electricity. www.phoenixnewtimes.com /Issues/2004-03-18/news/feature_print.html

Palo verde The Palo Verde has the characteristic of performing photosynthesis in its bark (hence the green color), and this is what allows it to survive after it has shaved its leaves in hotter periods. The Palo Verde (pal-oh ver-dee) is a tree found in the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. A Foothill Palo Verde is a bristling, upright-branching tree, mostly found on slopes, and is one of the most common trees of the Sonoran Desert. www.1bx.com /en/Palo_verde.htm

Power cut off to 35,000 in Southern Arizona Arizona Daily Star ® Arizona's Palo Verde nuclear power plant - the nation's largest single producer of electricity - may remain out of service for days after a glitch in the region's electrical grid triggered an automatic shutdown Monday morning. Palo Verde, built at a cost of $5.9 billion, supplies 3,810 megawatts to about 4 million customers in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California. It was a very orderly shutdown," said Jim McDonald, spokesman for Arizona Public Service Co., which owns a 29.1 percent share of Palo Verde and supplies power to about 1 million Arizonans, most of them around Phoenix. www.dailystar.com /dailystar/printDS/26126.php

Nuclear Energy - US NRC Palo Verde Amendment Approved to Move Stuck Fuel Assembly The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has approved a temporary license amendment that enables efforts to proceed to remove a fuel assembly stuck in the Unit 2 reactor vessel at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station near Buckeye, AZ. Palo Verde has successfully removed the other 240 fuel assemblies from the reactor core earlier in the Unit 2 refueling outage. The NRC staff action authorizes a temporary change to Palo Verde's technical specifications that permits the plant to use a manually operated hoist rather than a refueling crane customarily used during refueling operations. www.cmst.org /cmst/tech_summ_00/18__Palo_Verde_Amendment_Approved_to_Move_Stuck_Fuel_Assembly.html

Saporito v. Arizona Public Service Co., 92-ERA-30 (ALJ May 10, 1993) The Palo Verde plants are also "CE plants" and have PWR reactors, so Saporito's background at St. Lucie Plant and Turkey Point Plant would be experience in plants that have similar design systems to Palo Verde (TR 1619, 1620). Saporito expressed his concern that Palo Verde was 2600 miles away from his residence in Florida, and he needed assurance that his employment would be continued at Palo Verde Unit 1 outage if he was going to travel such a great distance (TR 1126). Also, attendance and performance during the course of the Palo Verde Unit 2 outage would be monitored and considered by APS and TAG management in selecting I&C technicians for the Palo Verde Unit 1 outage (TR 1128, 1129). www.oalj.dol.gov /public/wblower/decsn/92ERA30G.HTM

Nuke Beat: Palo Verde's Future Max Jarman at the Arizona Republic has a takeout on the status and future of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station near Phoenix. However, Lochbaum said that he believed that Palo Verde was a well-run operation and one of the better plants in the country. Interestingly, in the context of some discussions I've been having lately with some nuclear folks, the piece does not engage in a reflexive "he said-she said" debate between pro- and anti-nuclear folks. www.inkstain.net /nukebeat/archives/000950.html

CNN announces "specific threat" against Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona PNM is proud to be one of several owners of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the most productive nuclear power plant in the United States. I'm sure that all of this is unrelated to a specific threat to the Palo Verde facility and is simply a product of an overactive imagination. Congressional and administration sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that the initial concern about Palo Verde now is being largely discounted. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/870165/posts

NEWS: Palo Verde Nuclear plant unexpectedly shuts down. - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community Then, as an aside, they said that parts of the Palo Verde plant was shut down as a precaution. Nuclear regulators were concerned that not all the diesel generators that are supposed to fire up and power the plant's systems following a failure did so, said Victor Dricks, a spokesman for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The control systems at nuclear power plants are not connected to the internet, so there's no way a hacker could control anything (besides, most plants in the US still rely on analog, not digital, controls). www.abovetopsecret.com /forum/thread59356/pg
