Does the final rule include elimination of ridiculous evacuation requirements? You know, like the evacuations that killed 2000 more people than radiation at Fukushima.

Fukushima radiological release death toll = 0

Unnecessary evacuations death toll = 2000

Sums up perfectly how insanely backwards Nuclear Power's risk analysiss are. I mean, the  NRC actually believes that Chuck Norris and the Delta Force can/want to storm the main control room, engage the meltdown button and render an area the size of Pennsylvania permanently uninhabitable.

1: The evacuation RECOMMENDATIONS were never based on Fukushima. They have been the same since I qualified as an Emergency Director in 1998 and the same since at least 1990.

2: There are no requirements. The utility simply makes a recommendation to the State. The utility has no legal means to enforce an evacuation.
In most cases the recommendation is short term shelter

That's my point. If anything, Fukushima has shown that evacuation "recommendations" are completely ridiculous and not only that....they are more deadly than any possible release that could occur at a non-soviet designed reactor.

So unless you are in the owner controlled area, there is really (science and research has shown) no justification for the fear or evacuations. Countries are shutting down and abandoning Nuclear Power or have decided to not replace their Nuclear with Nuclear due to this Natural Disaster. That alone will cause WAY more deaths than any possible accident at a Nuclear Power Plant could.

I remember when I was qualifying as an Emergency Director. The PM said classify appropriately not conservatively if you recommend an evacuation someone will die.

On the other hand it’s been law for decades. It’s not Fukushima related and it’s not utility business
