energy is that there is little air pollution compared to coal. Coal emits more radiation than one nuclear power plant. Nuclear power plants are also more reliable than coal because they use less fuel and also are not affected by strikes or natural disasters. It is important to use less fuel because the world’s supply of fossil fuel is running out. Last, but not least nuclear energy is safer because barriers separates the radiation and the heat of the reactor core from the outside. The reactor core

Purpose The purpose of this disaster recovery plan is to provide guidelines and procedures to be followed to facilitate the rapid recovery from an actual disaster. It also is designed to get information that would be required in a disaster situation. This information could require costly hours and even be impossible to attain after a disaster strikes. Many portions of this plan will change with time. Therefore the plan must be updated and maintained as changes occur. It is intended that the plan
