10.U.S. Nuclear Unplanned Automatic Scrams
In the event of an imbalance in operations, the sophisticated safety systems of U.S. nuclear power plants are designed to shut down automatically well before any safety margins are exceeded. Unplanned automatic plant shutdowns, known as "scrams" or "trips" in the industry, are very infrequent. This graph summarizes unplanned automatic scrams in the U.S. nuclear industry between 1997 and 2008.
