Reply #11: You were chortling about the removal of oversight authorities... [View All]

The ability of the NRC to over time be a satisfactory oversight body is disproved by a vast body of experience showing the inevitability of failure. You point on one hand to the safety record of the present system, a record established that got by a system where Congress and the public was able to get an occasional glimpse over the shoulders of the NRC and it's pet industry. However when the discussion is about the high cost of nuclear you crow about how "we've" streamlined the system (read removed various points of oversight) and removed the ability of Congress and the public to influence the decisions of the NRC.
