DELTA, PA - Have you ever wanted to see the inside of a nuclear power station's control room? Come visit the Peach Bottom control room simulator during Community Information Night to see firsthand how operators harness the power of uranium to create safe, reliable power for more than two million homes and businesses.
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station will host Community Information Night on Thursday, June 4, 2015 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Residents are encouraged to attend this free, family-friendly event to learn more about nuclear energy, plant operations and current events at Peach Bottom.
