The Exelon Clinton Power Station has a new site vice president.

Tom Chalmers is a native of Decatur and was an employee of the Clinton Power Station for fourteen years before transferring to a corporate position and a position at the Byron Power Station.

Chalmers says he feels there is some public misconception surrounding the day to day activities of a nuclear power plant. He says most of the time they are conducting preventative maintenance on equipment.

Chalmers notes Exelon offers several opportunities every year for the community to learn more about what happens at the Clinton station.

Chalmers has been at his new position of site vice president since October 2019.
