WASHINGTON, July 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The continuous development of
cutting-edge technology and innovation by industry professionals has helped
the nuclear energy industry become the most reliable carbon-free source of
electricity. With industry efficiency at about 90 percent throughout this
decade, nuclear energy facilities have generated record-high amounts of
electricity in six of the past 10 years.

To increase public awareness of these innovations and their importance, the
Nuclear Energy Institute has produced a series of video news releases that
examine innovations that have been recognized with a Top Industry Practice
award. This is the second in a series of four videos that will be posted on
the Nuclear Energy Institute's website on a weekly basis.

The second video, "Global Ties Boost Nuclear Plant Performance," highlights an
international exchange of best practices by Exelon Nuclear. The third, "The
Secret Is Plastic," examines new piping applications; and the fourth, "Robotic
Inspectors," looks at a new robotic technique to remotely inspect a key power
plant component. Released on July 7, the first video, "High Tech Stress
Relief," looked at the challenge of microscopic stress corrosion cracking in
plant systems.

Exelon Nuclear won a Vision & Leadership Top Industry Practice Award for its
international technical exchange program and industry group leadership. In its
international technical exchange program, Exelon Nuclear has partnered in
technical exchange with three of the largest international electric utilities:
Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., Tokyo Electric Power Co., and Electricite
de France. Together, the four companies operate nearly one-quarter of the
nuclear energy plants worldwide. All four have benefitted from sharing plant
operating experience, best practices, lessons learned, equipment reliability,
risk management, and predictive and preventative maintenance practices.

Exelon Nuclear stays abreast of emerging technologies and developments that
can improve safety and performance and also works collaboratively with
industry counterparts to solve technical issues. Exelon Nuclear has more than
100 primary and secondary advisors that perform leadership and support roles
in organizations including the Nuclear Energy Institute, Electric Power
Research Institute, Institute of Nuclear Power Operators and reactor owners
groups.

Annually, the nuclear energy industry recognizes the very best innovations
through its Top Industry Practice awards.

One hundred and four nuclear power plants operating in 31 states supply
one-fifth of the nation's electricity, even though they constitute only 10
percent of installed electric generating capacity.

The Nuclear Energy Institute is the nuclear energy industry's policy
organization. This news release and additional information about nuclear
energy are available at www.nei.org.
