Abstract

American Nuclear Insurers provides liability insurance to the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry for the nuclear energy hazard. As the eyes and ears of ANI’s underwriters, ANI’s engineers inspect the insured nuclear facilities and perform an annual comparative analysis of the effluents from the operating U.S. power reactors. This presentation will provide some of the observations from the most recent analysis.
