La energía nuclear ofrece una solución energética de alta densidad con bajas emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Las normas de este sector garantizan los más altos niveles de seguridad, protección frente a la radiación y eficiencia operacional. Las normas ISO apoyan la expansión segura de la tecnología nuclear, abordan los problemas de salud pública y mejoran el rendimiento de las instalaciones nucleares.

Keep calm – the first rule of business continuity

Some things are hard to predict. And others are unlikely. In business, as in life, both can happen at the same time, catching us off guard. The consequences can cause major disruption, which makes proper planning, through business continuity management, an essential tool for businesses that want to go the distance.
