Constellation Files License Renewal Applications with the NRC for Two New York Units

LCG, June 29, 2026--Constellation announced on June 26 that it has filed license renewal applications with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend for 20 years the operations of Ginna Clean Energy Center and Nine Mile Point Unit 1 reactors in upstate New York to 2049. Constellation stated that it's decision to invest in these plants to extend their safe and reliable operations into mid-century demonstrates that New York State's renewal of its Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) program is working as intended. Furthermore, Constellation stated that maintaining its nuclear fleet is estimated to save New Yorkers $50 billion and sustain reliable emissions-free generation resources to serve increasing electricity demands.

Striking South Korean Power Workers Face Dismissal Deadline

LCG, Mar. 22, 2002--A protracted strike by South Korea's unionized power industry workers will result in their dismissal Monday morning if they do not return to work, the country's energy minister announced yesterday.

The workers have expressed resistance to privatization, which they believe will result in job losses and increased power prices. South Korea, which intends to finalize the sale of all but its hydro and nuclear power divisions, hopes the country can increase power output 100 per cent by 2015.

The striking workers make up two-thirds of the 8,400 employed in the power industry. The 3,489 workers who would be fired Monday would follow 197 who have so far been fired.

Shin Kook-hwan, the energy minister, said, "We will review how former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher handled a strike by unionized coal miners and how former U.S. president Ronald Reagan treated a strike by air traffic controllers." He also indicated that although the workers thought that firing them would be a reckless move, "this is a country upholding democracy, freedom and market principle. They are engaged in illegal activities. We should abide by laws."

Union spokesman Lee Byung-chul told Reuters that despite the possibility of 500 new workers being hired to replace fired unionists, "it is pretty doubtful how long the power plants can be kept in operation without the workers." Soldiers have been trained to take over some posts.
