NEI rejects report that labels reactors as bad assets
The Nuclear Energy Institute rejected a report released by Greenpeace that labeled nuclear plants "toxic assets" to investors. According to the report, the Fukushima Daiichi incident in Japan shows how harmful these events can be to investors' portfolios. "The authors ... seem incapable of grasping that our industry already has begun to extract lessons learned from the events in Japan and apply them to better protect our facilities against the impacts of extreme events, regardless of their cause," said NEI spokesman Steve Kerekes.
