Environment
Local farmers lease a portion of Ginna’s property and maintain the land and apple orchards, which allow Ginna to naturally blend into the surrounding farming community. In winter, the farmed land provides a food source for the wildlife that abound. The heavily wooded areas and creeks running through the property provide a healthy circle of life for all. Many migratory birds find Ginna a suitable haven either prior to or after their lake crossings.
Security
At Constellation Energy, the safety and security of our community, employees and neighbors is the top priority. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the company has built upon a strong foundation to further enhance site security. Studies by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Progressive Policy Institute all confirm that nuclear power plants are the most secure facilities in the entire U.S. industrial infrastructure.
