With
hurricane season in the Atlantic beginning this month, the NRC staff
has already prepared to take action to ensure NRC-licensed nuclear
plants and other facilities remain safe -- even during damaging
hurricane-force winds and storm surges.
Although
nuclear plants are built to withstand the expected storms in their
area, the NRC is ready for any storm that might threaten those plants
during hurricane season.
From
monitoring tropical storms and hurricanes as they develop to checking a
plant’s preparations to sending additional inspectors, the NRC’s
hurricane preparedness plans and response actions are the subject of new
NRC video . We hope you'll take a few minutes to watch it.
