Report: U.S. nuclear industry deserves federal support
The federal government needs to support the nuclear energy industry by implementing lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi incident in Japan, continuing efforts to enhance security and safety at nuclear plants and applying the radioactive waste management recommendations put forth by the federal blue ribbon panel, said former Department of Energy official Warren "Pete" Miller and former Sen.
