Nuclear Reactors 176 - The NRC and PG&E Secretly Changed the Diablo Canyon License Agreement
I have been blogging recently about misbehavior at the NRC and among U.S. nuclear power reactor operators and owners. I have also blogged about problems at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in California concerning geological fault lines. Since the time that the plant was built, new fault lines have been discovered. Now this issue has wound up in Federal court.

Nulcear Reactors 178 - The NRC Improperly Withheld Documents From the U.S. Public
I have often mentioned my lack of faith in the competence and integrity of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I have blogged before about their failure to adequately monitor and regulate the nuclear power industry in the U.S. Today I am going to talk about another problem with the NRC.

Malaysian Physicians for Social Responsibility Fight Malaysian Nuclear Power Plans
I have blogged before about the thrust of nations which export nuclear technology to sell nuclear reactors to developing nations. I recently read about that the United States has offered to help Malaysia build a nuclear power plant. In 2009, the Malaysian government presented its plan for nuclear power claiming that nuclear power was inexpensive, clean and safe.
