The Lesson of the Floating Nuclear Power Plant

Every couple of months, news about a floating Russian nuclear power plant hits the wires, and online discussion spreads everywhere. On one level, it's really quite astonishing. Here, inside NEI, we've got plenty of U.S. Navy veterans, so the idea of a floating nuclear power plant doesn't seem terribly outlandish.

On the other hand, I think it provides an important lesson for folks in the nuclear industry, because it tells us something about how we need to communicate with the public. And in this case, it seems as if too much is never enough. Act accordingly.
