This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by eliminating formal margin management programs at nuclear power plant sites and relying instead on other proven tools and processes.

This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by reducing the administrative load for performing difficulty-importance-frequency analyses, a process used to prioritize and schedule training for personnel.

This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by removing the self-imposed minimum number of required hours of annual training for experienced site personnel.

This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by reducing the frequency of personnel radiation monitor checks from daily to weekly at nuclear power plants’ radiologically controlled area exits.

This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by ensuring the response to very low levels of personnel radiological contamination is commensurate with the health risk to workers and the public.

This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by implementing a graded approach to detailed inspections (walkdowns) of plant systems and equipment.

This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by reducing the amount of paperwork associated with routine preventive maintenance at nuclear plant sites.

Operating the four Texas nuclear plants generates $4.4 billion of annual economic output in their local communities and statewide.

Mining uranium and preparing it for use in a nuclear energy plant is a complex and multifaceted process, requiring a precise knowledge of the element’s chemical nature to convert and enrich it. This fact sheet explains the steps comprising the front end of the fuel cycle.

This fact sheet details the research of radiation exposure and safety, as well as the organizations responsible for radiation protection regulations.

Nuclear energy can help meet the goals of a clean-energy, low-carbon economy because—like wind, solar and hydropower—it does not produce greenhouse gases. It is the largest clean-air energy source and the only one that can produce large amounts of electricity around the clock.

Ginna employs about 700 people directly and adds another 800 to 1,000 jobs during reactor refueling outages.
