Dear Scott Pruitt – Please establish modern scientific basis for radiation regulations

Even after all of the stresses placed on Fukushima by a natural disaster, core damage might have been avoidable if the operators had simply vented the containments when the pressure was low and the coolant did not contain many fission products. Instead, because of excessive fear of even ti…

Risks to American nuclear workers from “nonproliferation” excesses

…ht the ridiculousness of the situation. Recent NRC Event Report 49032 on a tritium leak at the Catawba Nuclear Generating Station in nearby Wylie County, SC received prompt reporting from the news media throughout Charlotte, NC: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/2013/20130515en.html#en49032 The amount of activity released was miniscule, and unless one is in the habit of drinking muddy water on pavement as my cats are…
