The next major accident involving [Nuclear Power Plants] is not a matter of if, but when. And when it happens, the question will not be why a single [Nuclear Power Plant Exclusion Zone], but why no regulator was counting the cumulative risk from 70,000 of them.

But some will say that's alarmist.

I mean those major nuclear reactor incidents do more or less happen at the expected failure rate. I did the math over a decade ago before I learned statistics but I'm sure I wasn't that off.

Of course failure rate is only half of a risk analysis.
