Are Nuclear Plants Safe Enough?, Report: Since 9/11, 103 U.S. Nuclear Plants Are Only Slightly Safer - CBS News:

If the terror attacks of 9/11 taught one lesson, it was that America must make itself less vulnerable to attack by air — perhaps nowhere more urgently than at the nation's 103 nuclear power plants, given their potential for inflicting massive casualties and destruction if hit by a plane loaded with fuel.

Yet 4½ years later, those plants are little safer from air attack, say critics. And squabbling has set in over what the security standards should be.

Anyone who thinks this administration or congress cares the least about our safety needs to see a psychiatrist.
