Homer Simpson Would Be Proud of Byron Nuclear Plant’s Milestone

Homer J. Simpson would be "doh" free talking about the Byron Nuclear Plant.

From My Stateline the Byron Nuclear Plant is celebrating 4,500 straight days of operation.

That's a serious milestone, people.

“It’s really a tribute to all of our 700 employees that work here at Byron Station to operate the plant day and night, address all of our issues and keep the units running all the time.” - Byron Plant Manager Harris Welt

Think about the safety of 700 employees, and in turn the safety of all of us! A new 20-year lease extension has been signed so the Byron Nuclear Plant will be providing power for years to come.
