The "contention" is that a CEO will skimp on safety for reward; but I sure haven't seen that; and I know the industry.
The CEOs in the nuclear industry know that their reward would be PALTRY; and they risk YEARS of rewards if they screw up.
That's why it is JUST NOT WORTH IT!!!
Where did you get the idea that they can walk away and stick the taxpayer with the bill??
That is anti-nuclear PROPAGANDA. The Price-Anderson Act contains NO such provision.
In the event of an accident; the whole industry including nuclear utilities not responsible for the accident have to contribute to the
Price-Anderson fund. There is a limit on those.
However, that limit is for the utilities that are NOT at fault.
There's no walking away from a nuclear accident.
