NRC Blog Update: Pokémon Go — Not a Go at Nuclear Plants
Pokémon Go — Not a Go at Nuclear Plants
Posted by on July 19, 2016
Public Affairs Officer
NRC Region III
The highly popular cellphone game has found its way to a U.S. commercial nuclear power plant.
The
Pokémon Go game lets users chase and catch virtual creatures with their
cellphone cameras. However, Pokémon Go and other games that use the GPS
signals in our phones are creating safety and security issues. Local
law enforcement officials across the country have cautioned folks to pay
attention while playing and be careful not to wander into traffic
(warnings that have not always been heeded). The phrase “heads up” takes
on new meaning here.The games have even enticed players to trespass on private property — including the Perry nuclear power plant in northeastern Ohio.
Recently, three teenagers pursued one of the strange looking cartoon creatures into the employee parking lot of the Perry plant, at 3 in the morning! Instead of catching the Pokémon, they were caught by security officers and escorted off the property.
But it could have ended very differently – and much more seriously — for these Pokémon pursuers.
Commercial nuclear plants are among the best-protected facilities in the country. Their security officers are highly trained professionals who carry guns and are authorized to use them in protecting the plant. Though you might not always see the protective measures and many details are not publically available, security is in place. (Click here for more info on the NRC’s security requirements for nuclear power plants.)
So have fun exploring and climbing over rocks searching for those virtual creatures, but the bottom line is be safe while playing these games. A nuclear power plant is not the place to be searching for Pikachu.

Energy Department Awards $40 Million for Research to Support Waste Cleanup at DOE Nuclear Sites
July 18, 2016 - 1:00pm
WASHINGTON
– U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz today announced up to $40 million
in awards for four new Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) to
accelerate the scientific breakthroughs needed to support the Department
of Energy (DOE)’s environmental management and nuclear cleanup mission.
The four centers will be led respectively by Florida State University,
Ohio State University, the University of South Carolina and DOE’s
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
The new EFRCs will conduct basic research aimed at assisting with the cleanup of hazardous waste that resulted from decades of nuclear weapons research and production during the 20th century—a core mission of the DOE and will take decades more for completion. The goal is to achieve fundamental advances in science to enable safe, efficient, and cost-effective waste cleanup and storage technologies. The new EFRCs are funded by DOE’s Office of Science and are designed to support the work of DOE’s Office of Environmental Management, which is responsible for the Department’s cleanup mission.
“The four new EFRCs announced today lay the foundation for continuing success in our environmental cleanup efforts, which depend upon advances in innovative science and research technologies,” said Secretary Moniz. “As one of America’s most successful use-inspired basic research initiatives, the EFRC program can be counted on to further discoveries that will greatly enhance cleanup efforts and accomplish one of DOE’s core missions.”
The new centers were competitively selected based on a comprehensive merit review process with awards ranging from $2 million to $4 million per year for each center for up to four fiscal years. The awards are subject to available appropriations and the outcome of a formal progress review in the second year of the four year period of performance.
Since the establishment of the EFRC program by the Department’s Office of Science in 2009, the Energy Frontier Research Centers have produced over 7,500 peer-reviewed scientific publications and have helped lay the scientific groundwork for fundamental advances in solar energy, electrical energy storage, carbon capture and sequestration, materials and chemistry by design, biosciences, and materials in extreme environments.
EFRC research has also has benefited a number of large and small companies, including start-up firms, and generated hundreds of inventions at various stages of the patent process. Each of the new centers is a multi-institutional team and includes several university and/or national laboratory partners in addition to the lead institution.
