No Accident Cameras in Nuclear Power Plants?


Asiana, MTA Metro North Crash and our nukes

Asiana captain 'very concerned' about making visual landing

By Martha Mendoza and Stephen Braun, The Associated Press

The pilot whose Boeing 777 crashed last summer at the San Francisco airport told investigators he was "very concerned" about attempting a visual approach without the runway's instrument landing aids, which were out of service because of construction, according to an investigative report released Wednesday...

So why aren’t our nuclear plants camera’d up and voice recorded? They might  be able to transfer the crash data over to the simulators so all the switch movements and dials and monitors redo the accident....but that is it.

But what if we had a new TMI…the public wouldn't have the camera images and voice to see.
Why is the nukes any different than out the airline industry?
I think the Nuke industry would behave better off if outsiders could see the control room.
Remember routine plant business and nodding off on shift would be invaluable information if recorded...
