commondreams.org/video/2011/03/18-0 >> Decades-OLD NUCLEAR power PLANTS are currently being RELICENSED for years of further use, even as they fail to meet today's safety standards,...The plants are also obtaining permission to FORGO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. This leads to near-disasters such as the Ohio plant that just happened to discover a football-size hole in a containment vessel.

Hard to believe the NRC did anything right. They just licensed and antiquated plant in Vermont that is a proven rediation leaker. Four eyed catfish have been caught from the river in front of the plant.
