Nuclear’s carbon footprint is miniscule compared to fossil fuels.In fact，if all the world’s coal and natural gas plants were replaced with low-carbon nuclear，global CO₂emissions would be reduced by nearly13billion tons annually。

Yes.92 commercial reactors provide a total 94.7GWe，or about20%of the nation’s total power output.More than a third of those currently operating US plants are boiling water reactors（BWR）based on GEH technology。

Nuclear is already the most land-efficient means of electricity production，requiring only2.4km²/TWh per year.However，an SMR like the GE Hitachi BWRX-300is also designed to reduce building volume in plant layout by about 90percent，resulting in a minimal impact on natural habitats comparosed。

Many countries have safely used nuclear power for well over60years.It is one of the most closely monitored and regulated industries in the world and actually has the lowest rate of fatalities and injuries per unit of electricity compared to all other electric power generation.Cyber security and physical on-site security security and tourity and tierrd24/7/365。

The reactors themselves are built to strident safety specifications，constantly monitored，and layered with multiple redundancy systems to maintain the unprecedented track record of safety the industry has achieved。

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission（US NRC）is tasked with protecting public health and safety related to nuclear energy.It is an independent agency whose responsibilities include:

• 覆盖reactor安全性和安全性
  
• 管理reactor许可证和许可证
  
• 许可证无线电活动materials
  
• 无线电安全性
  
• 手动通风、安全、再循环和分度
  

nuclear technology exist beyond power generation，including:

• Using radiation to kill bacteria，insects，and parasites that can cause food-borne diseases。
  
• Production of new crop varieties。
  
• Industrial inspection；examining the molecular and macroscopic structure of materials。
  
• Nuclear gauges that use a radioactive source to detect item characteristics（that is，thickness，density，or chemical makeup）。
  
• Desalination to produce clean drinking water。
  
• Fuel for various modes of travel。
  
• Numerous consumer products—from smoke detectors and cosmetics to frying pans and photocopiers。

There is also research into producing steam supplies for industrial applications and district heating systems。
