Increasing Nuclear Fleet Production
Increase fleet capacity factor:
- -------------------------------
. Reduce average refueling duration from 30 to 20 days
. Reduce forced outage rate from 2.6% to 1.5%
. aggressively manage all threats to generation
. improve material condition
. Implement best-in-class operating practices fleet-wide
[This slide also contains a vertical bar chart showing projected average
capacity factor for the fleet for the years 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. Indicated

Refueling Performance Leadership
We've demonstrated world-class refueling outage experience:
. 5 of 6 refuelings conducted this fall have been completed in (less than or
equal to) 20 days
- Two have set industry records
- All 6 have been in top quartile
. Exelon fleet plants have out-paced industry performance
. The economic value of reducing outage duration by one day is ~ $400,000/unit
. Refueling outage execution is a competitive differentiator
[This slide also contains a vertical bar chart showing, side by side, the
average refueling outage duration in days during the years 1997, 1998, 1999, and
2000 for the U.S. Industry and Exelon.]

More Capacity -- Increased Generation
Exelon Nuclear is adding capacity:
. Planned power uprates on ten units -- 885 MW
. Other planned capacity additions via modifications, feedwater flow
improvement, etc. -- 175 MW
. Planned purchase of additional 7% of Peach Bottom -- 164 MW
. Combination of improved capacity factors and added capability will increase
net generation through 2003
- by approximately 9 million MWh
. Equivalent to new 1200 MW unit, at an average cost of ~$205/kw

Exelon Nuclear's Competitive Cost Advantage
The fleet has competitive operating costs:
. Fleet aggregate cost is better than nuclear industry median
. 7 of 10 plants are currently in nuclear best quartile for production cost
. Exelon fleet fuel cost per MWh is in the industry best quartile
[This slide also contains a vertical bar chart showing the projected average
production cost in dollars per megawatt-hour for the years 2000, 2001, 2002, and
