In yesterday's posting, I spoke about the recent speaking engagement at Columbia University with Peter Lyons, one of the Commissioners at the NRC. He talked in great detail about the advantages of nuclear energy, so this article today grabbed my attention. There has been a lot of attention given to the "carbon neutrality" of nuclear power, but the focus should really be on the safety of a nuclear plant. One disaster could lead to a destruction of immense proportion, so we must focus on this issue with the utmost concern.
The NYT article talks about a leak in the pipes at one of the nuclear plants in upstate N (Buchanan, N.Y.).
