Children Clowns And The US Nuclear Regulatory Agency

Some Evil Clowns Are Official

Student's Corner

Nuclear energy is a way to generate heat using the fission process of atoms. A nuclear power plant converts the heat into electricity. What could be wrong with that?

All owners of nuclear power plants must have emergency plans, but still can't buy private insurance.

These plans allow workers and people who live near the plants to know how to handle emergencies.

Federal, state and local governments work together in case people need to be evacuated or other actions taken to protect local residents - just like in Hurricanes, Flooding or other Natural Disasters.

All nuclear power plants practice regular drills (think a REALLY important fire drill at your school) on a regular basis. These drills simulate a serious accident to test the emergency plan.

The purpose of this site is to establish separate and distinct teaching units on nuclear-related subjects that can be taught in the classroom. And, in some instances, the instructional units can be modified to be taught by teachers with varying degrees of knowledge in this subject area.

    Dear Litotes,
    Thank you. I went to the Teacher's Lesson Plans and read up on 'personal radiation dose', but was laughing to hard to finish filling out the form to calculate my personal average annual dose.

    Do you think this means I've received to high a dose and will shortly die from a brain tumour?
