Nuclear plants need scrutiny, not hysteria

"Right now the plants are safe."

That's what the chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said of the two nuclear power plants along the Missouri River in Nebraska after recent flooding. There have been no "nuclear releases." Vital systems to ensure safety are protected. Flood waters are not expected to become unmanageable.

Gov. Terry Branstad said that state officials are monitoring the plants and that the public should not worry.

Yet some people worry.

Instead of this crap how about having a news conference where we can get some questions asked and answered? Just tell us exactly what is going on. Is that too much to ask? I would feel a lot better about that.

1. "how about having a news conference where we can get some questions asked and answered?"

Oh yes - let us hear them stammer and stumble through their explanations from real reporters asking really intelligent questions.

I've resigned myself to the fact that they ain't gonna tell us ish until after the fact, Chernobyl/Fukushima-style.
