APS seeks SLR to keep Palo Verde operational into the 2060s
Arizona Public Service has informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of its intention to renew the operating licenses of the Palo Verde nuclear power plant’s three reactors for a second 20-year term, which could extend operations at the facility into the 2060s.
According to the announcement, APS won’t submit the subsequent license renewal application to the NRC until late 2027. The renewal would allow Unit 1 to operate through 2065, Unit 2 through 2066, and Unit 3 through 2067.

This paper reports the preliminary results of studies of the kinetics of the reactions of T2 with H2, D2, and CH4. The gas phase reactions were studied using laser Raman spectroscopy for the real-time analysis of species concentration. A novel flow cell which has low volume (ca. 4 cm3) and minimizes dead volumes is described. First order rate constants are in the range 1.4 – 2.7 days for reaction with H2 and D2 , and 5 days for the reaction with CH4.
