SAFETY IN NUCLEAR POWER FACILITIES

Nucleai energy is a principal contributor to the production of the world s electricity. As shown in Table 1, many countries are strongly dependent on nuclear energy. For some countries, more than half of the electricity is generated by nuclear means (1,3). There were 424 nuclear power plants operating worldwide as of 1995. Over 100 of these plants contributed over 20% of the electricity in the United States (see also Power generation). [Pg.234]

Safety provisions have proven highly effective. The nuclear power industry in the Western world, ie, outside of the former Soviet Union, has made a significant contribution of electricity generation, while surpassing the safety record of any other principal industry. In addition, the environmental record has been outstanding. Nuclear power plants produce no combustion products such as sulfuric and nitrous oxides or carbon dioxide (qv), which are [Pg.234]
