Nuclear Power Position Statement Posted
The Health Physics Society has published "Nuclear Power: Position Statement of the Health Physics Society" to support the position:
The Health Physics Society (HPS)* believes that nuclear power in the United States is a safe, reliable, low-carbon energy source. The exposures to radiation and/or radioactive material associated with nuclear power generation—and indeed the entire nuclear fuel cycle—have been effectively managed to ensure the safety of workers, the public, and the environment.
Thank you to Willie Harris and the Power Reactor Section for drafting the position statement that was approved by the Scientific and Public Issues Committee.
