Thanks, Frank. “It has become customary for administrations not to nominate, and the Senate not to confirm, commissioners whom the industry regards as ‘anti-nuclear'—which includes anyone who has expressed any criticism whatsoever of industry practices.” With a strong chance that we'll soon see rash across-the-board budget cuts .. meaning a return to the (1980's) days of "getting big government off the backs of the people" .. I am NOT optimistic .

3 nuclear reactors melted down after quake, Japan confirms "The nuclear group's new evaluation, released Monday, goes further than previous statements in describing the extent of the damage caused by an earthquake and tsunami on March 11. The announcement will not change plans for how to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi plant, the agency said. Reactors 1, 2 and 3 experienced a full meltdown, it said. The plant's owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co., admitted last month that nuclear fuel rods in reactors 2 and 3 probably melted during the first week of the nuclear crisis. It had already said fuel rods at the heart of reactor No. 1 melted almost completely in the first 16 hours after the disaster struck. The remnants of that core are now sitting in the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel at the heart of the unit and that vessel is now believed to be leaking. A "major part" of the fuel rods in reactor No. 2 may have melted and fallen to the bottom of the pressure vessel 101 hours after the earthquake and tsunami that crippled the plant, Tokyo Electric said May 24. The same thing happened within the first 60 hours at reactor No. 3, the company said, in what it called its worst-case scenario analysis, saying the fuel would be sitting at the bottom of the pressure vessel in each reactor building." edition.cnn.com Jim
