[ RadSafe ] Risk Communication

[Jaro Franta]

Thanks for the link.

It seems to me that a very big part of the "Outrage" following Fukushima
came from the public seeing images of one reactor after another blowing up.

Does anyone dispute that assertion ?

Anyway, a fairly easy and relatively inexpensive way to combat that specific
outrage is to make sure that NPPs subject to total station blackout do not
blow up, because of hydrogen accumulation.
Now why on earth is the US nuclear industry dragging its feet on
installation of Passive Autocatalytic hydrogen Recombiners (PARs), while
everyone else around the world is installing them, is totally beyond me.

Similarly for containment venting filters.

How about some leadership for a change ?
