Of the 104 Nuclear Power Plants in this Country….

I just got off phone with frequent commenter and insurance pro Bill Waite, who called my attention to an interesting article. I know essentially nothing about the risk modeling that insurance people do in their sleep, but I’d like to call readers’ attention to this piece on the import of the fact that of the 104 nuclear power plants in this country, 23 are within 30 miles of a geologic fault.  My intent isn’t to make people any more worried than they should be, but to point out the great number of disciplines that go into analyzing things like this.
