Comments on Nuke Pro: The NRC is a Captured Agency, Their Conflict of Interests have Made Them Dangerous Overseeing Nuclear Power in USA

If 1 in 100 planes crashed in their life, no one would fly.

Over 1 in 100 nuke plants blow up.

Lying arse nukist, the doses are still in the range of 200 to 600 mSV a year when they become internal.

Vanishingly Deadly

Actually the NRC operates on a cost-recovery basis. They charge utilities something like $300/hr for license application review. Surprise.

The NRC regulates nuclear to a much safer level than the FAA regulates air travel.

Grants fund R&D and R&D enables innovation and innovation evolves the tech, improves the situation and solves problems.

Nuclear reactor inherrent safety and used fuel issues are solvable. Politics and psychology a little harder.

There is no Nuremberg analogy here. People weren't murdered by nuclear. Try the fossil industry, and the 10,000 more industries that had proven riskier than nuclear.

Nonstarter.

Autocorrect. Lives matter. Evacuation without a good reason risked lives. More people could have been saved by shelter in place. The doses were vanishing trivial.

See, another nukist false argument, deflection.

We are arguing with the need for a regulating agency, we are insisting with the threat of a Nuremberg type trial, that those who are paid to regulate for us, using our money, truly acts as agents of the citizens and ratepayers.

Those who allow themselves to be captured, those scientists that function as lying grant whores, stand the risk of a Nuremberg type trial.

Got it?

Oh what a "precious" freudian slip of the keyboard....

Indeed to nukist, other people livelihoods don't matter before or after a nuclear accident.

Straight from the nukist mouth.

Who do you want running regulations? Greenpeace? Gundersen? Not qualified. Plain and simple.

Just because a meltdown occurred doesn't mean pre311 analysis was flawed. It just meant a Black Swan likelihood was realized. You are falsely operating under the assumption that a triple meltdown is a planet killer. Fukushima showed us that the actual versus theoretical is sometimes off kilter.

Livelihoods don't matter a posteriori.

Many have said (before 3/11/11) that the chance of a meltdown was 1 in a 1000 years or even 1 in 10,000 years but what is too often forgotten is that the chances of something occurring is that it can happen EVERYDAY or even many times in a single day, not at some far time in the future.

Depending upon who you believe Fukushima produced not 1 but 3 meltdowns in less than a week, which should help readers realize that accidents do happen despite world class engineering and when nuclear reactors have BAD accidents it produces Trillion Dollar Eco-Disasters like Fukushima.
