RE: NY Times - Safety Lapse at Ohio Reactor Cited as Potential Peril for Others

["Jacobus, John (NIH/OD/ORS)" <jacobusj@ors.od.nih.gov>]

As an observation, does anyone know of any industry where one of the mission

statements is "we will ensure the safety of our workers and the public?"

Businesses are supposed to make make money for their investors.  This is

whye I have believed that we need regulators to ensure safe operations, and

not just in the nuclear industry.
