Nuclear power plays a critical role in the energy infrastructure of the United States. Approximately 20% of the Nation’s electricity is generated by the 104 individual reactor units currently in operation. There is currently a push by the industry and the government for more nuclear plants to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Given the importance of nuclear energy today and in the future, protection of nuclear assets from damage inflicted by external causes, such as terrorist attacks, is vital to our economy and national security. |
