1.Deterring Terrorism: Aircraft Crash Impact Analyses Demonstrate Nuclear Power Plant's Structural Strength (EPRI Study)
This independent study demonstrates through state-of-the-art computer modeling techniques that structures housing reactor fuel at U.S. nuclear power plants would protect against a release of radiation even if struck by a large commercial jetliner. The study was conducted by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute).

2.Risk Characterization of the Potential Consequences of an Armed Terrorist Ground Attack on a U.S. Nuclear Power Plant (EPRI Public Health Analysis)
This independent study demonstrates through state-of-the-art computer probabilistic, risk-assessment techniques that there would be one short-term fatality every 6,000 years at a nuclear plant and indistinguishable long-term cancer fatality risks from terrorist ground attacks involving a nuclear power plant. To put this in perspective, the short-term fatality estimate is over 80 times lower than NRC safety goals. The study was conducted by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute).

4.Nuclear Power Plant Security
“The nuclear industry responded quickly and effectively to the events of September 11, 2001. Security at nuclear plants, already the gold standard for the industrial sector, was bolstered and has remained at a heightened level of alert.” This Status Report addresses the security framework employed by the U.S. nuclear industry and areas in which the industry is working with the NRC.
