The Public Record
We need to be mindful of, to learn as much from this as we can, to make sure that kind of tragedy does not occur here or hopefully in any other country.
We need to implore the Congress support the NRC, not only in these efforts but in implementing and ensuring that followup actions are taken.
Thanks so much. Thanks for coming here to testify for us today. Very, very good testimony. Thank you.
While we cannot predict when or where the next major disaster will occur, we know adequate preparation and response planning are vital to minimize injury and death when it does happen.
We have not had one single fatality related to a reactor in the last, well, in the history of those facilities.
Over the years, the NRC has strived to create a 'culture of safety' in the U.S. nuclear energy industry.
I would just ask us to be as mindful and concerned about our air pollution problems that relate to fossil fuel plants as we are the potential loss of life or endangerment of health due to nuclear power plants.
