I recently updated the page, Nuclear Power in the United States with additional, recent announcements of plant closures. The information is taken from an NRC blog post written by Neil Sheehan, Region I NRC Public Affairs Officer. Below is the text that I added to the article.

''The James A. FitzPatrick nuclear power plant has become the latest U.S. commercial power reactor to announce plans to cease operations by the end of the decade. Situated on Lake Ontario, the Scriba (Oswego County), N.Y., facility will permanently shut down either in late 2016 or early 2017. FitzPatrick, a roughly 840-megawatt boiling water reactor that came online in July 1975, joins these plants that will be closing in coming years: Pilgrim, in Plymouth, Mass., by June 1, 2019, and Oyster Creek, in Lacey Township, N.J., by Dec. 31, 2019.[1] ''

It is important to keep information about the status of nuclear power plants in the United States current, to further discussions about the state of the industry and this energy source.

Full disclosure, I work for a utility that owns a nuclear plant, and worked at the plant for about 8 years. My thoughts and opinions on this topic are my own and are in no way intended to represent any utility or nuclear industry entity.
