salmonella enterica serovar agona european outbreak associated with a food company
Epidemiology and Infection, 2011Co-Authors: Nathalie Nicolay, Lelia Thornton, P Garvey, O Bannon, P. Mckeown, Martin Cormican, I. S.t. Fisher, S Cotter, C.l. Little, N S BoxallAbstract:: We investigated an international outbreak of Salmonella Agona with a distinct PFGE pattern associated with an Irish Food company (company X) producing pre-cooked meat products sold in various food outlet chains in Europe. The outbreak was first detected in Ireland. We undertook national and international case-finding, food traceback and microbiological investigation of human, food and environmental samples. We undertook a matched case-control study on Irish cases. In total, 163 cases in seven European countries were laboratory-confirmed. Consumption of food from food outlet chains supplied by company X was significantly associated with being a confirmed case (mOR 18·3, 95% CI 2·2-149·2) in the case-control study. The outbreak strain was isolated from the company's pre-cooked meat products and production premises. Sufficient evidence was gathered to infer the vehicles of infection and sources of the outbreak and to justify the control measures taken, which were Plant Closure and food recall.

market impacts of a nuclear power Plant Closure
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2016Co-Authors: Lucas W Davis, Catherine HausmanAbstract:Abstract Falling revenues and rising costs have put US nuclear Plants in financial trouble, and some threaten to close. To understand the potential private and social consequences, we examine the abrupt Closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) in 2012. Using a novel econometric approach, we show that the lost generation from SONGS was met largely by increased in-state natural gas generation. In the twelve months following the Closure, natural gas generation costs increased by $350 million. The Closure also created binding transmission constraints, causing short-run inefficiencies and potentially making it more profitable for certain Plants to act noncompetitively.

the value of transmission in electricity markets evidence from a nuclear power Plant Closure
Social Science Research Network, 2014Co-Authors: Lucas W Davis, Catherine HausmanAbstract:In this paper, we exploit the abrupt Closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station to estimate the value of electricity transmission. Following the Plant’s Closure in February 2012, we nd that as much as 75% of lost generation during high demand hours was met locally. Although lower-cost production was available elsewhere, transmission constraints and other physical limitations of the grid severely limited the ability of other producers to sell into the southern California market. These constraints also made it potentially more protable for certain Plants to exercise market power, and we nd evidence consistent with one company acting non-competitively.

the value of transmission in electricity markets evidence from a nuclear power Plant Closure
National Bureau of Economic Research, 2014Co-Authors: Lucas W Davis, Catherine HausmanAbstract:Reliable estimates of the value of electricity transmission are critical if these heavily-regulated investments are to be made cost-effectively. In this paper, we exploit the abrupt Closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) in February 2012. During the previous decade, SONGS had produced about 8% of the electricity generated in California, so its Closure had a pronounced impact on the wholesale market, requiring large and immediate increases in generation from other sources. We find that in the months following the Closure, almost all of the lost generation from SONGS was met by natural gas Plants inside California at an average cost of almost $68,000 per hour. During high demand hours, we find that as much as 75% of the lost generation was met by Plants located in the southern part of the state. Although lower-cost production was available elsewhere, transmission constraints and other physical limitations of the grid severely limited the ability of other producers to sell into the southern California market. These constraints also made it potentially more profitable for certain Plants to exercise market power, and we find evidence consistent with one company acting non-competitively. Overall, the constraints increased generation costs by an average of $4,500 per hour, implying that the value of additional transmission capacity is about $380 million.
