The committee found that current approaches for
regulating nuclear plant
safety, which have been based traditionally on deterministic concepts such as the design - basis accident, are clearly inadequate for preventing core - melt accidents and mitigating their consequences.
«We've been worried since 9/11 about how to protect against bad guys hijacking an aircraft and crashing it into a
nuclear power plant upwind of a heavily populated area,» says David Lochbaum, director of the Union of Concerned Scientists's Nuclear Safety Project, a group that monitors the performance of nuclear plants and the NRC, which regulate

If the
nuclear industry was deregulated as I suggest (over time), it would greatly improve its design and
safety, like the aviation industry has and in contrast to the excessively but poorly
regulated healthcare industry.
