40 Powerful Years 1 Prairie Island: Genera ng Xcellence Together for 40 Years
Letter from Kevin Davison Forty years of genera on — that is a proud accomplishment for any sta on! It is an honor to lead Prairie Island Nuclear Genera ng Plant at this point in the site’s history. What I have learned in my me here is that our power isn’t only in our reactors — it is in every corner of our sta on. The power that has made Prairie Island successful is every person who has supported its safe, reliable opera on since the day our predecessors first broke ground by the river. Without the dedica on, hard work and passion for nuclear that we all bring to Prairie Island, we would not have our strong history. Site Vice President and
Director of Site
Operations Team
A lot has changed since 1974. You can see that just in the popula on explosion that we’ve experienced moving from 150 employees running our sta on, to more than 700 today. You can see it in the investments that are being made here — including new steam generators, a new site office building and a con nued capital commitment to ensuring we operate for the dura on of our license. That kind of growth shows that we have the skills, flexibility and determina on to run a nuclear plant that is in tune with what today’s consumers are looking for — an energy source that is safe, clean and reliable, and compe vely and predictably priced. Cathy McEathron and Janet Swanson, Execu ve Assistants; Sco Sharp, Director of Site Opera ons; Kevin Davison, Site Vice President Thank you for your work here every day. You — and all those who have come before us — are the reason that we are able to keep the power coursing through our lines. Warm regards, As you leaf through the pages of this book, know that we all share a common purpose, not simply to run a great plant, but also a shared commitment to each other, our community and our customers. Kevin Davison Site Vice President The 40th Anniversary Celebra on team would like to thank the following individuals for their contribu ons to this

Janet Daley, for championing the idea, maintaining comprehensive archives and coordina ng photo submissions
Frank Spurlock, for the new photos taken from atop containment
