Deepwater Horizon Inspections: MMS Skipped Monthly Inspections On Doomed Rig

Wednesday, May 19, 2010


"Nuclear Reaction," which was aired April 22 on Public Broadcasting Service's (PBS) "Frontline," presented a grossly inaccurate picture of the safety, security and viability of the nuclear power industry. Producer Jon Palfreman and guest correspondent Richard Rhodes attempted to show that the demise of nuclear power in the United States is due to the public's irrational fears of radiation.



In fact, nuclear power's demise is attributable to the industry's poor energy economics, its inability to solve the nuclear waste problem, its determination to use bomb-usable plutonium as fuel despite obvious proliferation and terrorism risks, and the public's legitimate safety concerns following the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl accidents. "Nuclear Reaction" ignores, glosses over, or inaccurately portrays each of these issues.
