The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission accuses Exelon of deliberate deception related to the financial health of funds set aside for cleanup of the company’s nuclear power plants, including the one in Clinton.
The NRC says Exelon underestimated the money it would need to clean up and restore nuclear plants after they are decommissioned, One report says the cleanup funds may have as much as a billion dollars less than what would be required under federal rules.
