U.S. Nuclear Power Safety One Year after Fukushima
One year after the Fukushima disaster, the Union of Concerned Scientists argues that U.S. nuclear reactors remain vulnerable to severe natural disasters and terrorist attacks. While the NRC has proposed safeguards, the document claims the agency is moving too slowly and has deprioritized the most critical recommendation: clarifying the regulatory framework for 'beyond-design-basis' accidents. Furthermore, the nuclear industry's voluntary 'FLEX' program is criticized for purchasing equipment before the NRC has established necessary safety and reliability guidelines.
