Montgomery County officials not happy with Exelon’s Limerick Nuclear Power Plant plans for addressing Covid19

Montgomery County officials question social distancing at Limerick nuclear plant, abc Action News, By Bob Brooks,  April 1, 2020 

LIMERICK TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — There’s a major dispute brewing between Montgomery County and the Exelon Corporation, and it all has to do with the coronavirus and the Limerick nuclear power plant.

A parking lot has been designated for the new contractors that have been hired as the annual refuel of the reactor maintenance project is underway.

But according to Montgomery County there’s a big problem.

She said, “We learned of plans to bring approximately 1,800 workers into our region from around the United States. We asked Exelon to postpone this refuel until a time when the disease burden from COVID-19 was lower.” …….. https://6abc.com/limerick-plant-exelon-corporation-covid19-cases/6067085/
