How can we protect our nuclear power plants?Don’t count on the plant security forces -- they aren’t nearly strong enough. These plants are each vulnerable to air strikes, truck bombs, boat bombs, and of course, the well-equipped and well-armed single madman or small group of terrorists...
Xcel Energy owns and operates two nuclear power plants: Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant near Monticello, MN, and Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant near Red Wing, MN. These plants produce nearly 30 percent of the electricity we provide to customers in the Upper Midwest. Security guards at...

The SHAMISEN international experts’ consortium was established to review the lessons learned from past nuclear accidents, particularly those occurring at the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants [5]. However, the review paper by Clero et al. [5], a special publication issued by SHAMISEN, ...
the levels of radiation that were to be encountered in this study34, which are commensurate with many environments in nuclear power plants and decommissioning applications, were high enough to be of potential harm to humans, but not sufficiently elevated to be of risk to the electronics within th...
NuOXPHOS genes displayed relatively high ENC and CAI values that are comparable to those of the other nuclear genes in the transcriptome (Wilcoxon rank-sum test with Bonferroni correction, P>0.05). Although under different CUB, the heatmap based on RSCU values revealed that both mt and nu...
To better understand the recurring nexus of “cyber” and “nuclear” in cyberwar, let us look closely at the structure of two cases: Stuxnet and the occupation of the Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plants. The occupations may seem extremely different from the sophisticated Stuxnet co...
To asses the variability in chromosome numbers, relative genome size (RGS) of plants collected in the scope of this project was estimated by flow cytometric analyses of silica gel-dried leaves using the Partec CyFlow space (Partec, Münster, Germany) fitted with a high power UV LED (365 nm...
