June 1st brings both the official start of Hurricane Season and the beginning of potentially severe summer weather. While science has made forecasting storms and weather events more accurate, the weather is often still unpredictable.

This video illustrates how NRC-licensed facilities and the nuclear power plants we regulate are ready -- no matter what the weather may bring.
