Exelon Generation, owner of the nation’s largest nuclear power fleet, mailed more than 23,000 public information emergency planning brochures to residents and businesses within 10 miles of its Byron nuclear facility.
The informative brochure contains facts about general emergency preparedness, including reception center locations, evacuation routes, a map, and a list of emergency alert broadcast stations. The brochure includes a special needs card to be completed and returned by people who may have a special transportation or other need.
“Residents around Byron Station have never had to use these brochures, but they are a good resource in the unlikely event of an emergency at our facility,” said Byron Station Site Vice President Mark Kanavos.
