Exelon's Limerick Generating Station
POTTSTOWN PA – Ever wonder how nuclear power is generated, or how a nuclear plant operates? Answers to those questions and more are available tonight (Wednesday, June 8, 2011) from 5-7:30, when Exelon Corp. Limerick Generating Station representatives will host a free informational event at the station’s Learning Center, 3146 Sanatoga Rd., Limerick PA.
Operations of the LGS’ nuclear reactor Units 1 and 2, including a discussion of their recent shutdowns, will be reviewed by Exelon technical and safety experts. Engineers, operators, chemists and environmental scientists also will provide information on safety, security, maintenance programs, and the company’s community involvement.
Visitors also can tour the plant’s control room simulator, which is used for training reactor operators. Refreshments will be served and younger guests will receive special ID badges and prizes. Visitor parking will be available in the station’s upper parking lot. Visitors needing special access accommodations should contact Exelon’s Amanda Varone at 610-765-6919.
“Our goal is for our neighbors to have an enjoyable evening and walk away better informed about the nuclear energy plant in their neighborhood,” said Bill Maguire, LGS site vice president. Community Information Night is part of Limerick’s annual public information and outreach campaign, designed to engage and educate the public on station operations.
