Nuclear facilities in the United States generate approximately 20% of the country's electrical supply. Nuclear power technology accounts for about 60% of America's carbon-free electricity, substantially lowers greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, and helps create a cleaner environment. This same technology powers U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers. Radioactive materials additionally serve important roles in medical diagnostics and treatments.
