I think this government regulation that stalled further nuclear plant development is what they had in mind. Undoubtedly they had this in mind. But this is a canard. Many--probably most--large projects of this sort have cost overruns. The same companies that build nuclear plants also build things like dams, which I know much more about--and they routinely have 50% cost overruns. In any case, if a nuclear plant has a safety accident, it is ipso facto a disaster. Know anyone who has taken a vacation to Chernobyl in the past 20 something years? Granted, nuclear plants today are safer than the Russian designs. But why even play with that possibility, the waste problem, and the issue of being dependent on another commodity (uranium in this case) if you don't have to?
