           In the event of a major nuclear accident at a nuclear power plant in the United States, the 1957 Price-Anderson Act limits the liability of the owners of the power plant where the accident occurred. Owners of nuclear power plants pay in to a Federal fund that is currently around twelve billion dollars. After an accident, damages will be paid to the public out of the fund for such things as injury, lost wages, hotel rooms required by evacuation, property replacement, etc.

             Most of my blog posts are about nuclear power generation. I did do a series on nuclear weapons but it has not been my focus. The world is trying to get rid of nuclear weapons and a lot of people are working on it. I think most people would agree that a nuclear war would be a bad thing. On the issue of nuclear power, unfortunately, a lot of people still think it is a good energy source and a lot of money is being spent to promote it.
