Utility, Industry & Corporation Utility Refueling Outage Constellation Energy’s Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station in Oswego, N.Y. completed its scheduled Unit 2 refueling outage at 1:43 a.m., April 17, 2008. The refueling outage duration was 27 days. Refueling and maintenance activities completed during the outage included inspections, upgrades and routine replacement of equipment such as motors, valves and seals. In addition, Constellation Energy completed several projects that contribute to the longterm viability of the station, including upgrades to the fire detection system and modifications to support the planned power uprate at Unit 2.
