Desaster waiting to happen?
Want an example for "Desaster waiting to happen"? Since Fukushima the NRC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Reaktorsicherheitskomission) of the USA, has prolonged the licenses of no less than 5 old nuclear clunker plants with decaying nuts&bolts, for another 20 years (after their previous 40), without demanding any safety measures being taken or new safety rules met from lessons of the the Fukushima desaster, and in several cases without inspecting the plants on their own... Desaster waiting to happen, indeed! (Quelle: Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA), Energy and Commerce Commitee) Download his report here: http://markey.house.gov/docs/05-12-11reportfinalsmall.pdf
