Is this statement correct? The "that" clause serves as a complement to the noun "fact" and provides additional information about what is asserted. It doesn't modify the fact; instead, it acts as a subordinate clause that explains or specifies the nature of the fact being asserted. Here is a sentence. "The fact is asserted that nuclear power plants are becoming safer to operate than many people think"

"That" is serving as a relative pronoun. It's not complementing "fact", it's replacing it to avoid repetition. Without the relative pronoun, you would two sentences with "fact" as the subject: "The fact is asserted. The fact is that nuclear power plants are becoming safer to operate than many people think"
