Did you know that the nuclear industry of the United States is actually among the safest industries in the world?
Today’s nuclear power plants are among the safest and most secure industrial facilities in the United States thanks to multiple layers of physical security and high levels of operational performance; these plants protect workers, the public, and the environment. In fact, statistics show that it is safer to work at a nuclear power plant than in the manufacturing sector. In the industry there are only 0.1 accidents per 200,000 hours worked.
