Debuting Today at http://www.ExelonNuclearTexas.com VICTORIA, Texas, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Exelon Nuclear today announced the launch of a new Texas-based Web site intended to keep the public updated and informed about the company's proposed Victoria County nuclear plant. The Web site address is http://www.exelonnucleartexas.com/. The Web site includes project updates, upcoming events, facts about the proposed project, facts about nuclear energy in general, background on Exelon Nuclear, and an interactive feature so that the public can ask questions about the project. Exelon Nuclear is committed to providing accurate and timely information to the public so the site will be updated on a regular basis. This new Web site will make information regarding the new plant licensing process more widely accessible. "Exelon's corporate values include a strong commitment to keeping our neighbors informed. We hope that people in Victoria County and in all of Texas turn to our new Web site when they need information about our plans," Bill Harris, community outreach manager for Exelon, said. In 2007, Exelon announced it was exploring building a nuclear facility in Victoria County and that it would file a combined construction and operating license application (COL) with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as part of the decision-making process. The site encompasses 11,500 acres about 20 miles south of the city of Victoria, near McFaddin. If Exelon moves forward with this project, construction could begin as early as 2011.
