Because facts matter.
The title of the post isn't supported by the draft report. The report simply doesn't say that the chance for a release "in U.S." is one in ten million years.
and your definition of "significant" is completely your own and not reflected in the report.
Nevertheless... the report certainly doesn't support a claim that this is any release as you claimed. For instance, as I noted, the situation scored as a "release" occurs quite some time after the pool is drained... yet they also calculate the dose rate on the refueling floor with varying loses of water (IOW, long before the "release"
... yet you can't have a dose rate if there's no radiation outside the pool.
the chances in the entire U.S. fleet would be reduced from 1 in 10,000,000 to 1 in 96,153.
A non-trivial difference - though no.... that wouldn't be the figure. You can't get the national figure by dividing 10,000,000 by 104.
What are the odds of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel plants destroying the oceanic food chain in the next 50 years?
Oh... no question.
