Did you listen to the Titans of Nuclear podcast featuring Nils Diaz? He was a commissioner for 10 years starting in 1996 and ending as chair in from 2003-2006.
He was probably the most technically qualified commissioner in the history of the NRC/AEC.
IMO, every NRC employee should be required to listen to his interview.
Do you really think that would make any difference? People respond to the actual incentives they are faced with, not pieties. Hendrie was right. The NRC's role is nuclear plant safety. Period. That's the way we set it up. It's on us.
We can't change how people work. We must change the system.
Who knows, the stampede of uneducated journalists that headed to Harrisburg might have caused enough ground movement on the east coast to rupture those pipes...
Nuclear has got to move forward or the planet is toast. Nothing compares to its safety being 340 times safer than Solar! LNT has been debunked by the science community so nuclear plants should be insurable. No future health issues are predicted for Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters.
We are being left behind in a world that is stepping up in build out of nuclear power and those regions will have a competitive edge on the USA for the lack of foresight we currently command.
Jack - what a sad tale.

I never listen to podcasts. They are way too slow. I read the transcript, and all I read was we need better people like me.. Will not work.
