Excitement and elation is the feeling of the employees at the Exelon Power station after the Illinois legislature passed the nuclear energy bill that will keep nuclear power plants in Illinois online and open for another decade.
Communications Manager at Clinton Power Station, Brett Nauman says the personnel at Exelon are grateful that the legislature passed the bill and that everyone at the plant will keep their jobs.
Nauman indicates the folks that had to leave will be allowed the opportunity to get their jobs back at the plant.
Non-essential personnel at the plant were allowed to leave Friday after they met with officials on the results of the legislation from Thursday.
