right after fukushima happened, the chairman of the n.r.c. convened a task force to take a hard look at safety of nuclear power in this country. and that task force came around with 12 recommendations. so anyone who thought before fukushima that we hadn't -- no room to improve here in the united states, was probably taken aback by this thick document of all the things that we need to fix. that task force report was taken by the n.r.c. and then put through its regulatory meat grinder. and as a result, some of its recommendations remain somewhat intact. others were watered down. others have been discarded completely. nuclear power is just a very complex and expensive way to boil water. if we don't fully learn the lessons of fukushima, and incorporate them into sfour that we are s here setting the stage for catastrophe. simply because we have the opportunity now to correct some of the problems of the past, and if we don't take that opportunity fully, then we'll -- no one but ourselves to blame when -- when or if it does happen. >> we will go bac
