Braidwood Nuclear exercise postponed due to storm recovery efforts

The safety exercise at the Braidwood Nuclear Power Station originally scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed due to the severe weather that impacted the region earlier this week.

Emergency response personnel from the state of Illinois, Will County, Kankakee County, Grundy County and Constellation will participate in the exercise at a later date, according to a Thursday news release.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will evaluate the units of government during the exercise and provide preliminary findings in a meeting at a later date, which will take place at the Will County Emergency Management Agency facility, 22456 Cherry Hill Road, Joliet. The public will be invited to attend this meeting.
