Markey: Who's In Charge If Nuclear Disaster Hits America?

U.S. Govt. Lacks Coordinated Plan, Says Markey; Congressman Expresses Concerns Over Lack of Nuclear "Emergency Pills," Calls for Moratorium on New Nuclear Reactors in U.S.

WASHINGTON (March 13, 2011) - Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) raised concerns today that the United States does not have a coordinated plan to deal with a similar nuclear disaster as that which is currently happening in Japan. In a letter sent to President Barack Obama, Rep. Markey, who is the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee and a senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, pointed out that currently no single federal agency appears to have designated command in the event of a nuclear disaster here on U.S. soil.

1. We still don't have a plan to deal with oil spills coming out of the worst oil spill in our history
so lets not hold our breath for a plan to deal with a nuclear disaster. Afterall, any real plans would cost these companies a chunk of change, and we can't be doing that.
