President Trump and the NRC

The House and Senate is being run by the republicans. The NRC commissioners normally have five members. There is only three in there now, based on republican obstructionism of Obama. I’d remind President Trump, if a nuke plant melted down and caught in a scandal like TMI, it would eat up a tremendous amount of your administration.  Other interest would be placed in the back room.

Trump spoke very little about anything nuclear industry prior to the election.

So, President Trump will have a tremendous influence on the NRC and nuclear industry. The nuke industry and electric utilities are a very politically powerful force. These guys eat presidents and governors of all stripes by the dozens.

My great hope is he would reform our electric system.

I’d like him to commit the USA into replacing 50% of our nuclear plants in a decade with new plants…
