Public Watchdogs Answer to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s August 30, 2021 Letter on “Credible” risk
More than a year ago, our consultant, Paul Blanch, asked the NRC a very simple question: How does NRC define a risk when it says it is “not credible”?

When the “grid” starts producing too…

Radioactive Releases from Nuclear Power Plants: A Cause for Concern
By Roger Johnson, PhD, contributing editor All nuclear power plants regularly discharge radioactivity into the environment.

Ionizing radiation is a known carcinogen, and since cancer is becoming the number one…
