I don't see any direct suggestion in my statement that government should
own and run nuclear power plants. I am saying that there should
be..."continuous critical oversight"...of whichever organization is
running the plant.
Private Industry has a poor history of building, maintaining, and
running nuclear power plants in the U.S. I have no idea what the
solution is, but I do think there should be far more oversight
considering the near disasters we have had so far.
Gerry....who lives about 10 miles from what is left of the Crystal River
Nuclear Power Plant which was destroyed by corporate management focused
primarily on profit; all because there was not critical oversight.

industry doesn't need the same or even greater oversight? Sorry, but
I am not very trusting of government organizations....

Exactly, and continuous critical oversight so long as private
industry is owning and running the plants. Here's an example of what
can happen when a power companies bottom line overrules all else:

No Randy, more like the French model, using a proven standardized

capable of efficiently and safely providing decades of power. If we
also
followed their example and re-processed our fuel rods, the radioactive

would
fit in a coke can.
Here's the best part: no CO2!!!
Compared to coal, which not only releases tons of CO2 into the air, but
also TONS of radioactive uranium and thorium, nuclear power is the only
viable answer for those truly concerned about the environment.

Yeah, with some cut price offshore contractors and maybe that
cement from
China that they used in that bridge on the west coast.
