Nuclear Plants Should Be Phased Out - “Can’t Guarantee Against Accident Causing Widespread Land Contamination”

In two key decisions last week Jaczko said the agency “damaged significantly” its international reputation for upholding safety and he accused the five commissioners of “just rolling the dice” in dealing with severe accidents.
