Progress Energy Inc., which plans to merge with Duke Energy Corp. to create the largest U.S. utility owner, led a list of 14 near-misses by U.S. nuclear plant operators last year, the Union of Concerned Scientists, a watchdog group, said today in a report.
Progress, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, suffered four accidents at three reactors, the group said today in a report written by its chief of nuclear safety, David Lochbaum, a former safety instructor for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
