Item 8.01. Other Events
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
On August 17, 2005, Arizona Public Service Company (“APS”) extended an unplanned outage of Unit 1 of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station to repair an oil seal leak on a reactor coolant pump. The outage began on August 12, 2005, when APS shut down Unit 1 because of a maintenance issue related to one of the unit’s two emergency diesel generators. APS repaired the emergency diesel generator and was in the process of returning Unit 1 to full power when the decision was made to take the unit off-line to repair the oil seal leak. The reactor startup of Unit 1 is currently scheduled to occur mid-next week, subject to delay for unanticipated developments.
