Topic: The Nuclear Crisis in Japan and its Implications for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station

Speaker: Mark Fallon, APS

On March 11th a massive earthquake and tsunami hit northern Japan causing severe damage to a number of nuclear power plants in the area and releasing radioactive contamination into the surrounding environment. In the wake of this tragedy, many countries have begun to reconsider their nuclear power programs. Arizona Public Service operates the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station west of Phoenix which has provided safe and reliable power to the state for many years. Mark Fallon from APS will discuss the tragedy in Japan and how it has affected operations and health and safety compliance programs at the Palo Verde Generating Station.
