The James A. FitzPatrick (JAF) Nuclear Power Plant is located in the Town of Scriba, near Oswego, New York, on the southeast shore of Lake Ontario.

It was named after Power Authority Chairman James A. FitzPatrick, and the NYPA operated the plant until November 2000 when it was sold to Entergy Corporation.

[2] On November 2, 2015, Entergy announced its plans to shut down FitzPatrick at the time of its next fuel change in 2016[3] but instead elected to sell the plant to Exelon Generation for $110 million.

[6] The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at FitzPatrick was 1 in 163,934, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.

[7][8] On November 2, 2015, Entergy Corporation announced that it intended to close the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant because it is becoming too costly to operate.
