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 />
