COOL DOWN: Researchers at @SandiaLabs developed new software to identify which cooling systems offer the most water 💧savings at commercial power plants, including the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona.

#PaloVerdeGen continues to make a difference by providing clean and reliable energy to the Southwest with over 31.9 million megawatt-hours produced during 2019. #CleanAirEnergy

[Bob Bement @bob_b_safe]

Congratulations Maria on this well-deserved promotion. As I prepare to retire, I have nothing but confidence for you as the leader at the helm of this ship, the nation's largest clean-air energy producer. We’re all behind you, Maria!

Congratulations to Maria Lacal, who will soon become the first woman ever to run operations at @apsFYI Palo Verde!

Power plants get watered down 💦. Researchers at @SandiaLabs are also developing a first-of-its kind systems dynamics analysis to identify water-saving technologies for cooling at power plants. #NationalLabs

It was a pleasure to host Senator McSally and her staff. I am appreciative of our elected officials and their dedication to helping Az.

@bob_b_safe @MelodyCRod what a fun way to help explain the tremendous value of #PaloVerdeGen ! #ThinkNuclear

[Nuclear Energy Institute @NEI]

"Power generation operations to date at Palo Verde have offset the emission of almost 484 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide, which is the equivalent of taking up to 84 million cars off the road for one year."

Did you know that if you powered your entire lifetime with only #nuclearenergy, the used fuel would fit inside a soda can? #PaloVerdeGen #carbonfree #themoreyouknow #cleanenergy @NEI @HannahMicheleH https://t.co/GpFjoDwFmO

[Bob Bement @bob_b_safe]

One of the benefits of closing one of our three units each year for scheduled maintenance is being able to invite local organizations for an inside look into the work we do. Thank you @LocalFirstAZ for visiting #PaloVerdeGen. #carbonfree #nuclearenergy https://t.co/EGCRQKCkV5

[APS @apsFYI]

We have been named one of the world’s “Top 100 Green Utilities” by @energyintel. Our inclusion on this list reflects a long-term effort to make smart investments in a cleaner grid. The electricity we provide our customers is 50% clean and getting cleaner. https://t.co/gUGjuDg6fC

"It all adds up to a carbon-free future with nuclear in the equation." Thank you @paulshow06 for your creative work on this video with @NEI. https://t.co/PqR0VQDef9

@Lana_LangdonAZ thank you for visiting Palo Verde. Thankful for what you do to make APS and Arizona better.

[Bob Bement @bob_b_safe]

@CarterYoungman What you say is a possibility. I believe it is a higher probablility that there is a technical answer to eliminate or minimize the stored fuel. I would be happy to give you a tour and talk about used fuel.

[Bob Bement @bob_b_safe]

Great stories from Leanne Burgess, Adriana Cisco Sullberg and Holland Vande Krol about the paths they each took to #nuclearscience careers at #PaloVerdeGen. Thanks Steve Watson for producing #STEM Pro Live, a great resource for all science teachers. https://t.co/wGAlafvBXq

Today I’m getting a behind the scenes look at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, @apsFYI. Learning about their operations and how they manage to be the nation’s largest producer of clean energy. This canister is filled with spent fuel assemblies and it can still be used!
