Significant Events at U.S. Nuclear Plants Annual Industry Average, Fiscal Year 1988-2009

Significant Events are those events that the NRC staff identifies for the Performance Indicator Program as meeting one or more of the following criteria: A Yellow or Red Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) finding or performance indicator An event with a Conditional Core Damage Probability (CCDP) or increase in core damage probability ( CDP) of 1x10-5 or higher An Abnormal Occurrence as defined by Management Directive 8.1, “Abnormal Occurrence Reporting Procedure�

An event rated two or higher on the International Nuclear Event Scale

Example Economic Impacts The operation of Grand Gulf, and the increased economic output associated with it, accounts for 1,316 jobs in Mississippi, including 561 jobs in Claiborne and Warren counties. These jobs generate $78.7 million in earnings for workers in Mississippi, including $42.6 million for local employees.

Additionally, the plant and its related economic activity resulted in $29.5 million in state and local tax payments in 2004.

The total economic impact of the Indian Point plant on Westchester, Orange, Rockland, Putnam and Dutchess counties for 2002 was $763.3 million. Indian Point’s total impact on New York state’s economy for the same period was $811.7 million and $1.5 billion for the U.S. economy . . . the Indian Point Energy Center employed 1,683 people (including Entergy Nuclear headquarters in White Plains) . . . Given the combination of employees at the plant and secondary jobs created by Indian Point’s economic activity, the plant is responsible for 2,500 jobs in Westchester, Orange, Rockland, Putnam and Dutchess counties.

“Emission-free� refers to any generating source that does not produce emissions of CO2, NOX, or SO2 during its operations. The fuels that fit this category are: nuclear, hydro, wind, solar and geothermal.

Percentages are based on annual generation from these sources for 2010.

Fukushima - Impact on U.S. Nuclear Industry “Our nuclear power plants have undergone exhaustive study, and have been declared safe for any number of extreme contingencies.”

- President Barack Obama, March 17, 2011

“All the plants in the United States are designed to deal with a wide range of natural disasters, whether it’s earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, other seismic events.

We require all of them to deal with those.”

- NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko, March 17, 2011
