Palo Verde Facts

Site and Outstanding Features

Palo Verde is located on a 4,250-acre site 55 miles west of down-town Phoenix. The station is managed by APS, which has the largest share of ownership amongst the seven utilities that own Palo Verde.

Palo Verde safely and reliably provides electricity for approximate-ly 4 million people in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas.

Located in an area of low seismic activity, Palo Verde is designed to safely withstand the maximum credible earthquake for the site’s geographic location.

The robust containment dome structure is comprised of rein-forced concrete/steel material that is pre-stressed and post-tensioned. It averages 4.5 feet thick, with a quarter-inch steel liner that gives it the equivalent strength of 35-foot thick non-rein-forced concrete structure. The base of the concrete containment fl oor is 10-feet thick.

Palo Verde is the only nuclear plant in the United States that does not sit on a large body of water. Instead, it recycles more than 20-billion gallons of municipal effl uent each year to meet its cool-ing needs. The treated water is piped to two storage reservoirs with a combined capacity of approximately one billion gallons. The reservoirs provide about 14 days storage of makeup water for the three nuclear units operating at full capacity during peak conditions in hot, summertime weather.

Water Reclamation Facility

Most plants use large natural bodies of water such as rivers, lakes or oceans as the source of cooling water. But Palo Verde is located in the dry Sonoran Desert, where water is a precious resource.

Thus, we are the only power plant in the world that uses re-claimed waste water from surrounding cities (Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Tolleson) as its cooling water.

Waste water is transported to Palo Verde through 36 miles of underground pipe from the 91st Avenue and Tolleson Wastewater Treatment Facilities.

At Palo Verde, the water undergoes further treatment at the site’s Water Reclamation Facility (photo, bottom right) — one of the world’s largest advanced water treatment facilities.

Treated water is stored in the site’s 85-acre and 45-acre reservoirs for use in the cooling towers. The nine cooling towers require 40,000 to 50,000 gallons of water (enough to fi ll more than 300 swimming pools) a minute when the three generating units are operating at full power.

This arrangement benefi ts the local economy through the pur-chase of 20 billion gallons of effl uent (waste) water each year. It also conserves natural resources such as groundwater for other uses like drinking water for local residents.

Generating Electricityfor the Long Term

Commercial operation of Units 1 and 2 began in 1986, and in 1988, Unit 3 began commercial operation.

The three units were granted License Renewal by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2011. Units 1, 2 and 3 are now licensed to operate through 2045, 2046 and 2047, respectively.Since 1992, Palo Verde has been the nation’s top energy pro-ducer of any kind. And, Palo Verde is the only generating facility in the US to ever produce more than 30 million megawatt-hours and has achieved this feat eight times, generating as much as 32.2 million megawatt-hours of electricity.

The plant’s three nearly identical Combustion Engineering pressurized-water reactors each produce approximately 1,400 megawatts, giving the station a net generation rating of slightly more than 4,000 megawatts.

Safety as a Value

Our goal is to prevent all events, injuries and industrial illnesses. The management team and workers at Palo Verde comitted a substantial eff ort to attain STAR Status in the Arizona Division of Occupational Health and Safety (ADOSH) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). In fact, only about three dozen companies in Arizona have achieved VPP STAR status, which recognizes employers and workers in the private industry and federal agencies who have implemented eff ective safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective industries. In January 2016, Palo Verde was recertifi ed as a VPP STAR worksite.

Safety at Palo Verde is owned by each individual and their respec-tive organizations. The safety of all Palo Verde workers (and visitors) is ingrained as a value; something never to be compromised.

The Event-Free, Injury-Free theme is a key part of our company’s VPP Safety Initiative. That initiative includes a focus on employees working event-free to achieve the common goal of an injury-free workplace. Three actions employees (and visitors) need to take to ensure an injury-free workplace are:

1. If it’s not safe – don’t do it.

2. If you’re not sure – ask.

3. If you think it’s unsafe – say something.

Another important part of our Safety Initiative theme is United in Safety. This is because it takes a unifi ed eff ort to ensure each of us goes home in the same condition we arrived at Palo Verde. Together, we’re responsible for the safety of our colleagues and ourselves.

Everyone has an important role in working safely.

Nuclear Safety – Station personnel exhibit the right behaviors and are committed to keeping the employees and the public free from danger.

Industrial Safety – Every employee is involved in activities and decisions that impact their safety. Palo Verde is committed to pursuing and achieving OSHA Voluntary Protection Program STAR status.

Radiological Safety – Employees are aware of and follow proper radiological work practices to protect the employees and the public.

Safety Culture – An organization’s shared values and behaviors modeled by its leaders and internalized by its members.

Traits of a Healthy Nuclear SafetyCulture

Traits of a Healthy Nuclear Safety Culture describes the essential traits and attributes of a healthy nuclear safety culture, with the goal of cre-ating a framework for open discussion and continuing evolution of safety culture throughout the commercial nuclear energy industry.

A trait is defi ned as a pat-tern of thinking, feeling and behaving such that safety is emphasized over competing priorities. The 10 traits are:

1. Personal Accountability

2. Questioning Attitude

3. Eff ective Safety Communication

4. Leadership Safety Values and Actions

5. Decision-Making

6. Respectful Working Environment

7. Continuous Learning

8. Problem Identifi cation and Resolution

9. Environment for Raising Concerns

10. Work Processes

11

Wear Proper Attire and Shoes

Safety shoes with composite or steel toes, safety glasses with side shields, gloves on person, and hard hats are required in the plant and when traversing certain areas outside the plant, such as the cooling towers. We recommend composite toes for safety shoes, be-cause steel toes will alarm the metal detectors in our Security Main Access Facility. Otherwise, steel toe footwear is acceptable.

We will supply you with non-prescription standard or over-glasses safety eyewear, hard hat and other safety items as needed, such as hearing protection, sunscreen and gloves, which are required to be worn when handling materials.

Wear comfortable cotton clothing appropriate for the season and desert environment. Synthetic fabrics are not recommended in radiologically controlled areas as they may attract radon gas.

Please notify our staff if you have been treated with radioactive medication in the past ninety (90) days or will receive treatment prior to the trip.

Smoking Policy

Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), the company that provides Palo Verde with its fi re insurance, requires that smoking is allowed in designated smoking areas only to prevent fi re.

This applies to everyone on all areas of the site, including the SRP switchyard.

Smoking only is allowed where this sign (right) is posted. Smoking outside of designated smoking areas and while walking is prohibited.

Heat Stress Awareness

One of the biggest safety concerns for visitors to our hot desert climate is the potential for heat stress. Adding to this fact is that Palo Verde has high ambient temperatures in many areas of the operat-ing units. Many visitors travel from cooler environments and are not accustomed to our unique combination of high temperatures and low humidity. People can become dehydrated quickly without real-izing it. This can increase one’s susceptibility to heat illnesses.

We design safety into every task we do at Palo Verde, including scheduling activities to times with reduced heat stress potential to help counter the impacts of being in hot environments. We also have a specifi c procedure related to preventing heat stress while performing work. If your visit to Palo Verde will include perform-ing work in a hot environment, discuss what heat stress prevention strategies will be used with your escort or Project Manager.

Additionally, follow these helpful tips to combat heat illnesses:

• Understand the symptoms and pay attention to your body.

• Drink plenty of water and occasionally an electrolyte replacement drink.

• Take breaks in cooler areas and minimize time in hot work areas.

• If you begin to feel overheated or dizzy, immediately inform your escort. Move to a cooler area and rest. Drink water to replenish fl uids.

For additional information, we will gladly provide a copy of the Palo Verde Safety Manual or Heat Stress Prevention Program procedure.

Economic Impact

Palo Verde is committed to its role as a signifi cant contributor to the local economy and a strong partner in local schools, civic organiza-tions and charitable causes. Palo Verde creates an annual economic impact of more than $1.8 billion to the Arizona economy.

In total, Palo Verde directly and indirectly supports an estimated 8,800 jobs and $510 million in annual payroll in Arizona.

Palo Verde directly provided about 2,500 “recession-resistant” jobs for employees and contractors with a combined payroll of $255 mil-lion annually in 2009.

An additional 5,800 jobs and more than $250 million in payroll are supported annually at other businesses throughout the state through the economic multiplier eff ect.

The facility made an estimated $223.8 million in local purchases for various equipment, supplies and services in 2009. Based on the share of vendor purchases that are made locally, the annual eco-nomic impact on the state is estimated at $399.4 million in 2009.
