Nuclear fire protection: A critic's view
Nuclear power critic Paul Gunter, with the reactor oversight project Beyond Nuclear, discusses his views on fire protection at nuclear power facilities. He argues that new fire rules are merely a paper solution to a long-standing problem of unsafe reactors, and thus will not protect the public health and safety.
Nuclear industry official Alexander Marion, a vice president with the Nuclear Energy Institute, discusses new fire protection rules for U.S. reactors. New rules will enable the industry and regulators to predict and estimate risks based on available information and respond accordingly.
