Fermi 2 has been designed to reduce the possibility of accidents that could harm the public. Systems are in place to automatically shut down the reactor is a problem develops. There are also a number of different ways to cool the reactor.
The Fermi 2 plant was built to and will operate under strict safety standards. The plant's construction, safety systems and operations are thoroughly checked by Detroit Edison and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The plant controls a nuclear reaction in uranium fuel. The heat from this reaction turns water into steam. The steam turns a turbine to generate electricity.
All commercial nuclear power plants in the United States have containment structures to contain radioactive materials should there ever be an accident. Radioactive materials would have to penetrate barriers, including the containment structure, to reach the environment.
Emergency Plans Are Exercised Regularly
An emergency at Fermi 2 is quite unlikely. Normally, there is no risk to plant employees or the public. But, emergency planning for communities near nuclear plants has proved helpful during other kinds of emergencies such as severe weather or chemical spills.
The Fermi 2 emergency plans are tested regularly. The Federal government requires a complete test of the plan each year. State and local personnel participate with Detroit Edison at least every two years. An ongoing training program for all emergency workers further ensures your safety.
Facts about Radiation
What is Radiation?
Atoms are the building blocks of all material. If atoms contain excess energy, they are unstable. Materials that are composed of unstable atoms will naturally emit radiation in order to release the excess emergency and reach a stable state. The radiation is emitted in waves or particles of energy. Thus radiation can be defined as energy emitted from the nuclear of unstable atoms in the form of particles or waves.
Radiation is not new or limited to nuclear power plants. Each of us is exposed to some radiation every moment of our lives from radioactive materials that exist in nature.
