Duke Power

In the United States, a group of domestic investors, including Duke Power, and Urenco, have appHed for permission to constmct a new gas centrifuge plant in Louisiana. 

Hydrazine was first developed in Germany and became the international product of choice in the late 1940s, during World War II. It was first used in a public utility in the United States in 1950 (Duke Power Company, Charlotte, NC). 

In addition, nuclear utilities in the United States are also extending plant operating lives. Baltimore Gas and Electric is seeking an extension of the license for its Calvert Cliffs facility -the news out of the NRC is favorable - and Duke Power has submitted an application for the license renewal of its Oconee plant. Extension of the licenses of such economically-competitive plants can make an important contribution to meeting our environmental goals.

The impact of corrosion on electric utility systems can be divided into the fraction of utility costs for depreciation, operation, and maintenance that are attributable to corrosion. The estimated costs discussed for this sector are based on detailed analysis of facilities and work activities, using input from Duke Power, an energy company serving more than two million people in North and South Carolina and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) reports, technical literature, and other utilities. 

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not include an express prohibition on policies or practices that produce a disparate impact. But in Griggs v. Duke Power Co., 401 U.S. 424,91 S.Ct 849,28 LJid.2d 158 (1971), the Court interpreted the Act to prohibit, in some cases, anployers facially 2673 neutral practices that, in fact, are discriminatory in operation. Id., at431,91 S.Ct. 849. The Griggs Court stated that the touchstone for disparate-impact liability is the lack of business necessity If an employment practice which operates to exclude [minorities] cannot be shown to be related to job performance, the practice is prohibited. Ibid. see also id., at 432, 91 S.Ct. 849 (anployer s burden to danonstrate that practice has a manifest relationship to the employment in question ) Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody, 422 U.S. 405, 425, 95 S.Ct. 2362, 45 L.Ed.2d 280 (1975). 

By order of this Court, New Haven, a city in which African-Americans and Hispanics account for nearly 60 percent of the population, must today be served—as it was in the days of undisguised discrimination—by a fire department in which members of racial and ethnic minorities are rarely seen in command positions. In arriving at its order, the Court barely acknowledges the pathmarking decision in Griggs v. Duke Power Co., 401 U.S. 424, 91 S.Ct. 849, 28 L.Ed.2d 158 (1971), which explained the centrality of the disparate-impact concept to effective enforcement of Title VII. The Court s order and opinion, I anticipate, will not have staying power. 

See 42 U.S.C. 2000e-2 (k). This method of analysis is consistent with the seminal Supreme Court decision about disparate impact discrimination, Criggs v. Duke Power Co., 401 U.S. 424 (1971). 

This area is the most spread out in spatial terms with multiple cores and very low densities (Fig. 61.4). A branch of Carolina s Medical Center forms the northwest edge while the Charlotte Motor Speedway and an accompanying mall are to the northeast. Both of these have an important economic connection, as the northwest edge is connected to Duke Power s Maguire Nuclear Station and the northeast being the connection to Phillip Morris. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte forms the southeast corner while the southwest corner is a collection of office parks developed over the last 20 years.
