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.

Davis-Besse’s operation generates $805 million of annual economic output in Ottawa County and $1.1 billion statewide.

Exelon’s 11 nuclear reactors in Illinois provide reliable, emission-free electricity and act as economic engines for their local communities and the state.

The report focuses on key aspects of nuclear export control, such as the structure and organization of regulatory systems, the scope of controls over nuclear and nuclear-related commodities and technology, types of licenses issued, license issuance requirements, processing times, and other distinguishing characteristics of each regime.
