Three Mile Island Unit 1 began<br />

commercial operation in<br />

September 1974. Since Exelon<br />

Generation purchased TMI Unit<br />

1 in 2000, the plant has offset<br />

more than 95 million metric tons<br />

of carbon, the equivalent of<br />

keeping nearly 20 million cars off<br />

the road.<br />

Along the way, it’s estimated<br />

that the station and its employees<br />

contributed more than $3.5 billion<br />

into the local economy, including<br />

wages, taxes, charitable<br />

contributions and local<br />

purchasing. The station has been<br />

such a landmark in the<br />

Londonderry Township, PA<br />

community that a portrait of the<br />

plant is memorialized on public<br />

safety vehicles.<br />

“We salute Three Mile Island<br />

and its employees for the service<br />

and partnership they have<br />

provided to Londonderry<br />

Township and the surrounding<br />

communities for 45 years,” said<br />

Londonderry Township Manager,<br />

Steve Letavic. “This is a tough day<br />

for many. However, we look<br />

forward to maintaining a strong<br />

relationship with those at the<br />

facility as it enters into<br />

decommissioning.”<br />

About 300 of Three Mile Island<br />

Unit 1’s employees will be staying<br />

for the first phase of<br />

decommissioning. Other<br />

<strong>NIRMA</strong> Board and Staff:<br />

employees are taking on different<br />

roles within Exelon companies,<br />

and still others have elected to<br />

retire or move on to other<br />

opportunities outside the<br />

company.<br />

Thank you for hosting another<br />

excellent <strong>NIRMA</strong> conference! The<br />

conference was well-run, organized,<br />

and provided information that will help<br />

me be more effective at work. I really<br />

enjoyed the keynote speakers and the<br />

technical sessions, and I was pleased<br />

to see that our leadership was already<br />

planning next year's conference<br />

during the PDBU meeting. The entire<br />

<strong>NIRMA</strong> team delivered!<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Gil<br />
