Summer festivals are kicking into high gear across the Rock River Valley – and Exelon Generation's Byron Station is proud all of the following wonderful community events. The Byron nuclear facility sits on the Rock River, and many of its employees live in the communities that surround the plant. Let's get ready for Summer!
