WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nuclear plants would be able to remain safe if they experienced major damage or power loss after a catastrophic event, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said on Friday.
"Our inspectors found all the reactors would be kept safe even in the event their regular safety systems were affected by these events," said Eric Leeds, director of the NRC's Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
"A few plants have to do a better job maintaining the necessary resources and procedures," he said.
