…Wish I’d Have Said That

Nukewatch Quarterly Summer 2019

Writers sometimes hit home runs against nuclear power that bear repeating, like two recent letters to the editor that were simple, sharp, clear, and brief. Len Charlap of Princeton, New Jersey wrote in part: “I will support nuclear power the day after the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act is repealed. If insurance company actuaries consider nuclear power to be so dangerous that they cannot compute premiums that the industry can afford, then that industry is not economically viable. If the government (i.e., taxpayers) has to cover the industry with catastrophic insurance, then the government should own the reactors and provide nonprofit energy.” Roger Johnson of San Clemente, Calif. put it this way: “Will it take another Chernobyl or Fukushima, possibly in an American city, to quiet the disinformation coming from nuclear activists? What the world needs is energy that is both carbon-free and radiation-free. Those of us who live near a failed nuclear power [reactor] know the truth: Nuclear power is by far the most expensive, the most dangerous, the most unreliable, and the most environmentally unfriendly form of energy production.”

—Letters, New York Times, April 10, 2019
