Horror movies, thrill rides, there have been safe ways to get a thrill; that have delighted Americans for generations.  This latest generation has seen NYC attacked and hundreds have lost their lives.

True fears are often quelled by the cliché phrase “never again”.  My cousin has written what might be called the definitive book on a nuclear accident, with chilling details of the problems at the time of accident with 20/20 hindsight.  The last third gets scary with the our own NRC not implementing lessons learned from Fukushima, as new regulations, mainly do to the cost to utilities.

Protecting the public like the frequency of inspecting the thrill ride for deadly damage is still a mater of cost analysis.  A hard truth, we have to live with.

Below is a link to David Lochbaum’s book, which I recommend.
