Japan finally admits 3 nuclear reactors melted down after quake.

[Denny Crane]

One of the biggest problems we have with nuclear energy is poorly conceived regulations. Brian wrote about it and you just wrote about it.

We're living with Jimmy Carter era regs that weren't very good in the first place and are now seriously outdated.

Waste can be reprocessed in the reactors which generates more energy and makes better byproducts to manage. Yet our regs forbid it. The French have been doing it for decades, generate like 80% of their power from nuclear plants, and are two or three generations ahead of us technology wise. We can learn from their experience.

Missouri River flooding has been national news for a few days. 2 nuclear plants will flood this summer when the water moves up 5-10 feet.

Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant--Federal government orders news blackout


Infowars claims, without a link:
Russia’s Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Minatom) says Calhoun really bad.

I go to Minatom press releases, use search function on left of this page, and find nothing for "Calhoun" or "Cooper."

The only recent articles about Fort Calhoun are in Infowars. That's item 1. Item 3 is about Japan.
