Does this mean that nuclear power is safer today? Not according to a new report by the Director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists. The report is entitled &#8220;Walking a Nuclear Tightrope: Unlearned Lessons of Year-plus Reactor Outages,&#8221; and is the first study to analyze every US nuclear power outage lasting a year or longer. David Lochbaum, the report&#8217;s author identifies common themes among extended outages and steps the Nuclear Regulatory Commission must take to end costly and avoidable threats to public health and the economy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucsusa.org\/clean_energy\/nuclear_safety\/unlearned-lessons-from.html\">Click here<\/a> to read the report. <\/p>\n<p>Visit the Union of Concerned Scientists online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucsusa.org\">www.ucsusa.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: David Lochbaum, author of a new report called &#8220;Walking a Nuclear Tightrope,&#8221; and Director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists No U.S. nuclear power reactor has experienced significant core damage since the partial meltdown at Pennsylvania\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Three Mile Island (TMI) in 1979.
