 When a glass is shattered it normally breaks into pieces, but a laminated glass does not due to the presence of polyvinyl butyral between the two layers of the glass. Strong impacts at times are unable to penetrate the laminated glass and hence its strength saves it from being broken into several sharp pieces. Places which are prone to storms like the hurricane require the construction which can withstand them, thus using laminated glass for exteriors like the windows, storefronts, etc. Following are some of the advantages of a laminated glass:

 A newly established world record run at the Three Mile Island reactor in
Pennsylvania is the most recent in a series of achievements that demonstrate the
world-class reliability and safety of U.S. nuclear energy facilities.
Ceasing electricity production for refueling on Oct. 26 after 705 days of
continuous operation, TMI-1 is the first pressurized water reactor (PWR) power
plant in the world to eclipse the 700-day mark for continuous operation.
