The Point Beach nuclear plant will eliminate 22 jobs by late April, according to Nuclear Management Co., the company that operates the facility.

The positions, which are mainly administrative and clerical, are being eliminated as part of a streamlining under which the four nuclear plants operated by Hudson-based NMC are moving to a common computer platform, Point Beach spokeswoman Sara Cassidy said. The cuts will affect members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2150.

The cuts represent about 3% of the Point Beach work force of 700, which includes employees at the two reactors, as well as contracted security officers.

Point Beach, in Two Creeks, is a two-reactor nuclear plant owned by Milwaukee-based We Energies.
