And what are the odds that a future regulatory regime will be strong enough to keep management from cutting corners? You know how they are. Just look to PG&E getting slipshod on transmission line maintenance. More than 100 deaths, millions of acres and tens of thousands of buildings turned to ashes, but at least people can go back in and rebuild and replant. Somebody gets clumsy or lazy at a nuclear facility, that won’t be the case.

Legislate so that deviating from the safety regime is met by swift and harsh punishment. Like, if you skimp on critical safety, whatever harm you cause will be tried as premeditated.
