Rest of the world pushes nuclear transparency

Article"The worries of millions of people throughout the world about whether nuclear energy is safe must be taken seriously," International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Yukiya Amano said, according to a transcript of his speech. "Rigorous adherence to the most robust international safety standards and full transparency, in good times and bad, are vital for restoring and maintaining public confidence in nuclear power."The partial meltdown at Fukushima, where greater public scrutiny may have uncovered decades of falsified safety reports, has changed the way people view international nuclear incidents. Measurement networks showing how radiation plumes move globally, along with commercial satellite imagery and Internet communication, mean the public has more information than ever before about the consequences of nuclear breakdowns.Not going to happen here!  We've got internet caps, so they treat us like idiots.  :)
