Who regulates or oversees the operation of Duane Arnold to make sure its safe?
First, our employees are our most expert safety guardians. Each employee understands that nuclear safety is his or her primary responsibility. Our plants are also monitored closely by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a federal government agency that oversees all U.S. nuclear power plants. Daily and special inspections — some unannounced — are conducted on site at the Duane Arnold Energy Center to make sure we meet federal regulations in place to protect public health, safety and the environment.
