Our Advantage
Exelon Generation runs the largest, most efficient nuclear fleet in the
United States and the third largest in the world, giving us unparalleled
experience, knowledge and expertise. We operate both boiling water
reactors and pressurized water reactors from different manufacturers
and distinct generations.
Exelon is recognized for safety, innovation and consistency of performance.
Our company leads the industry in shortest refueling outages, which means our
plants spend more time online generating power. We have the highest
capacity factors and the lowest power production costs.

Exelon's consistency and success is driven by the Exelon Nuclear
Management Model, a proprietary, process-based operations methodology.
The Exelon Nuclear Management Model is a written operational guide
developed over 11 years. It contains more than 2,000 programs, policies,
processes and tools. Key functional area managers are trained and
experienced in the Exelon Nuclear Management Model standards.

The Exelon Nuclear Management Model is the reason Exelon outperforms
other operators. It enables Exelon to replicate sustained high-level
safety and performance across every unit.
Benefits of the Exelon Nuclear Management Model:
-
Process Execution
Standard best policies & programs: Key
nuclear functions are broken into 74 categories and best
practices are made standard to leverage synergies and replicate
top performance.
Tightly defined work process: The detailed definition of
process steps across all functions and integrated work
control outlined in the Exelon Nuclear Management Model
reduces the potential for deviation and error.
Rigorous Execution: Strict adherence to
rigorous execution of process requirements and continuous
management engagement ensures desired results.
-
Oversight and Accountability
Strong oversight and results assessment:
Intensive oversight and engagement from management is standard.
Tiers of performance metrics allow for constant, detailed
performance tracking.
Focus on accountability: Accountability is
specific, defined, accepted and enforced.
-
Continuous Improvement
Continuous process improvements: Benchmarking
and analyses of issues reports, operating experiences, common
cause analyses, and root cause evaluations lead to process
refinement and continuous improvement.
-
Transferability
The Exelon Nuclear Management Model is portable, adaptable and
scalable. Because it is detailed and comprehensive, it can be
utilized at all nuclear plants to replicate Exelon's high level
of performance to the benefit of those looking to develop
nuclear operations.
Accelerated time frame: The Exelon Nuclear
Management Model supports an aggressive implementation
schedule and helps meet forecasted demands.
Cost avoidance: It lowers the initial
investment as well as operating and maintenance costs,
and reduces long-term capital spending. This promotes knowledge
transfer and accelerates the ability of new owner-operators
to manage operations independently.
Certainty and sustainability: It promotes
stakeholder credibility and contributes to lower risk and
capital costs.
Superior Operations: Higher capacity factors
and lower production costs increases the potential for faster
payback on investment.
