The verdict

Palo Verde Generating Station runs at 8% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Electric power generation, nuclear workplace, earning a grade A.

Palo Verde Generating Station: 0.1 TCR = 8% of Electric power generation, nuclear BLS 1.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Palo Verde Generating Station safety composite

Palo Verde Generating Station scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
