FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company has contracted GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy for outage services for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant 35 miles northeast of Cleveland, Ohio.
The service contract with GEH includes three scheduled outages, running through 2021.
The plant on the shores of Lake Erie, is a GE Type 6 facility. It went operational in November 2086 with a license that expires March 18, 2026.
Construction of a second reactor at the plant was suspended in 1985 and officially canceled in 1994. As such, the facility has two cooling towers, but only one functional reactor in place.
Parent company FirstEnergy, however, has football on its mind.
Go Renegades!
Football fans on Super Bowl Sunday will find out who the Renegades are during a 30-second commercial spot that tells the story of the company's investment in field renovation for a youth football team from Cleveland in a collaborative effort that included help from the City of Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns and the National Football League.
FirstEnergy utility The Illuminating Company donated lights for the field. About 20 Illuminating Company employees volunteered their time to install the lofty light poles that now allow the Renegades to play night games.
In Cleveland, football is a religion, just like it is in Texas, says former Renegades coach and community activist Dwayne Browder from the city's 5th , who was honored by having the new field named for him.
Browder Field is a storied name in Cleveland sports history, located on the grounds of the old East Tech High School, says FirstEnergy in a press release.
The commercial, which will be aired during the CBS broadcast – with a kick-off at 6:30 EST – will appear locally in northeast Ohio on WOIO, Channel 19, in pre-game, post-game and during other CBS programming after the game.
The commercial is available here and on YouTube. A longer version of the 30-second spot – a short documentary on the Dwayne Browder Field renovation, called Shinning Lights: The Renegades Football Story – is available on line at www.firstenergycorp.com/renegades.
