Fitzpatrick (James A. Fitzpatrick)

James A. FitzPatrick Clean Energy Center’s single nuclear reactor in Oswego, New York can generate up to 842 megawatts (MW) of clean, emissions-free energy, enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 600,000 homes. The plant was named for James Anthony FitzPatrick, who was chairman of the New York Power Authority from 1963 to 1977. The Fitzpatrick plant is located near Oswego, New York. The 900-acre site is also the location of two other General Electric boiling water reactors: Nine Mile Point units 1 and 2.
