Post-Fukushima safety inspections at U.S. reactors five times worse than NRC publicly admitted
ProPublica's John Sullivan reports that not 12 of 65 nuclear power plant sites failed some aspect of spot checks by NRC inspectors post-Fukushima, but actually 60 of 65 did. The aging of the reactors is making the failures more common. Sullivan has posted excerpts of NRC's negative findings for each of the 60 problem nuclear power plants.
