NUCLEAR POWER PLANT EMERGENCIES
The construction and operation of nuclear power plants are closely monitored and regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Accidents at these plants are possible, however. An accident could result in dangerous levels of radiation that could affect the health and safety of the public living near the nuclear power plant. Radioactive materials are composed of unstable atoms. These atoms give off excess energy until they become stable. The energy emitted is radiation.
