Abstract:

U.S. regulators have granted approval for a new nuclear reactor in the Triangle. After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, questions persist about nuclear power safety. Carolina Power and Light, the company that will operate the new Shearon Harris nuclear plant, has one of the worst safety records of any U.S. utility company.
