   Safety Initiatives

   As this audience remembers, the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 caused the public to question the nuclear industry’s ability to safely operate nuclear power plants.  As a result, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the nuclear industry began to focus on the highest standards of care to ensure the safety of the workers, the public, and the environment. Today, the nuclear power industry is one of the safest industries in the world due to the significant progress made to improve safety over the past four decades.  This session focuses on today’s initiatives being developed and implemented at nuclear power facilities to continue the industry’s quest for the highest levels of safety.
