RE: IP Takeover?
Someone should do a study comparing the dose from radon emissions from
such a facility to the dose from the current facility.

Saying that "LNG is at least as heavily a regulated industry as is the
NP
industry" seems to me to gloss over some pretty obvious technical
aspects.
But the solution to any discrepancies seems simple : the LNG
regulations
merely need to be modified slightly to make sure that all storage
facilities
and transport ships are constructed with three-foot thick,
steel-reinforced,
convex-shaped walls with a radius no greater than about 20 meters per
installation.
For that matter, the same type of design requirement should be applied
to
the high-rise buildings planned for the WTC site, and any other place
where
thousands of people congregate, such as stadiums, cruise ships, etc..
Of course that's only if you're really concerned about public safety,
not
just about scare mongering the public about nuclear power.

Hi all:
Since the politician who is proposing replacing IP's nukes with 2,000
MW[e]
of natural gas generating
capacity, and natural gas fired electric generating plants will force
the
imporating of huge quantities of
LNG most likely, my comment is completely appropriate. True the LNG
industry
is regulated, but does anyone
really think that LNG storage tanks or the huge incoming LNG tankers are
less subject to successful
terrorist attack which might lead to horrible consequences than an
attack on
a NPP? Valid issues, valid
questions?
I'm not attacking the LNG industry just trying to put all the facts on
the
table for honest evaluation of
risks, benefits, and costs to society.

LNG is at least as heavily a
regulated industry as is the NP industry and dare I say as misunderstood
as
far as risk is concerned.
