  1. A special investigative commission in Japan has issued a report that praises, explicitly or implicitly, several elements of nuclear safety regulation in the United States.

    But a few hours after the report was released on Thursday, the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, who is about to step down, declared that the Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns revealed a major gap in the American safety program. To whit: what happened at Fukushima technically did not violate American safety standards because the public suffered no major radiation exposure.
