Great point made about the NRC not being an honest broker for the people but just a cheerleader for the nuclear business. It was in their interest to keep any issues under wraps and to coat over negative aspects of the nuclear business. What sucks is that the industry, starting around 1981, began a steady exit strategy from any responsibility for damages from the industry. 20 years later the deal had turned around from a 'let's protect the people' to today where it is 'blame the people for living there' mentality. By establishing a new way to determine what the damage is called they are finding a back door out of the deal and leaving the mess to the government who wind up taking the blame for the mess industry made. Since 1981 our country has been going down that road and only determined efforts by the people, such as electing people who will ensure the people are protected (and that big business is no longer the people's responsibility).

As someone who worked sinking a shaft for Uranium at crown point NM back in the late 70's (OPEC dried up petroleum and Phillips decided to diversify into nuclear power) I was a Shaft sinker (Australian) Employed by Cementation to sink on to the uranium ore-body. I asked the Government inspectors about Radon Gas,( I knew about it as it was a hot button topic in Australia Mary Kathleen mine in Queensland) and were they testing for it? They said no as we weren't near the uranium orebodies. Thankfully Three mile Island had a meltdown, OPEC backed down and overproduced gasoline, and lots of people lost their 'hardon' for nuclear. I returned to the land of OZ with my wife and kids and lived happily ever after. Take-away trust no one especially governments and their minions.

@Charles Wilson that’s not true, nor factual. You are a habitual liar. You even claimed The Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax and that a white supremacist was hunting and killing Muslims in Albuquerque was factual. And you hate FACTS you base your claims on FEELINGS.
