If you have never seen nuclear scientists and really smart people get creative all in the name of safety- you obviously haven’t been to the annual APS Safety/Human Performance Day at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

Held for the third consecutive year, the employees and contractors of Palo Verde organize more than 40 booths dedicated to safety topics ranging from radiation protection to heart health to the proper ways to use tools.

With the goal of teaching about safety in a creative and fun way, each department designed a booth and offered an array of prizes ranging from Wii game consoles to flat screen televisions in order to get people to stop and learn about safety.

Some booths featured game show themes such as “Are you smarter than a nuclear scientist” and Palo Verde “Idol.”  Others offered interactive games such as miniature golf, remote control car racing and a live version of the Clue game.

Even though the event isn’t open to the public, over 2,000 employees and contractors attended the event throughout the day and the event was covered by ABC15 and the Business Journal.

Palo Verde is the largest power producer in the U.S., providing electricity to more than 4 million customers throughout Arizona and the Southwest. The plant is operated by Arizona Public Service.
