Changes associated with economic deregulation of the U.S. electricity supply industry are causing major restructuring, with the potential to affect nuclear power safety. The study was undertaken to identify possible consequences of deregulation for nuclear power safety. A historical case study approach was adopted (using literature reviews and interviews), focusing on the U.S. aviation and rail industries and the United Kingdom nuclear power industry because of their relevance to the U.S. nuclear power industry. Overall, the experience of the case study industries suggests that economic deregulation need not be incompatible with a reasonable safety record, especially in areas where safety is positively related to productivity. However, safety clearly cannot be taken for granted after deregulation, since adverse effects on safety were observed in each of the three case study industries.
