美國核能管理委員會(NRC)正在進行一項計劃,模擬國內103座核電廠能在40%員工因感染禽流感而缺勤數週的情況下,仍能正常運作。核管會考慮的方案包括:採取遠距工作、召回退休未久的員工以及推遲安全演練等活動,以使核電廠關鍵功能能維持運作。
U.S. Nuclear Power Industry Plans for Bird Flu Pandemic
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is working on a plan to keep the nation's 103 nuclear power plants operating safely in the event that up to 40 percent of the staff is absent from work for weeks with bird flu. The Commission is considering using teleworking, bringing recent retirees back on the job, and deferring activities such as security exercises to maintain critical functions.
