A new report from the Government Accountability Office found that the NRC uses historical data — rather than climate projections — to identify and assess risk in initial licensing processes and during safety reviews for plants. That may underestimate how droughts, floods, wildfires and extreme weather could affect nuclear power plant operations and safety, the GAO warned.

Nucelar parastitism
Why invest in useful community projects when you can decomission plants well into the future. Not the win Magnox thinks it is for the community.

"We are looking at a significant extension to the decommissioning plan for the site. This will result in huge amounts of extra investment in the community and high level jobs for many more decades to come. More information will be available in the coming weeks."
