A few recent trade publication articles do not accurately reflect Exelon Generation's perspective on new nuclear construction and the significant investments we've made in the nuclear technologies shaping our industry's future.

For years, we've been telling shareholders, stakeholders and industry partners alike that current economic conditions do not support building new large-scale commercial nuclear plants in competitive markets, absent cost reductions and needed market reforms. However, we continue to invest heavily in power uprates, small modular reactors, and cutting-edge advanced nuclear technology research and development. We also remain heavily involved in shaping energy policy that appropriately values our industry for its many benefits, including grid stability, resiliency, national security and a host of positive economic and environmental impacts.

It's not yet clear which one of these pioneering nuclear projects will emerge as the best option, and our public policy and market reform work is ongoing. But make no mistake, Exelon Generation is fully engaged in preserving our existing nuclear fleet and investing in the technologies of tomorrow.
