<pre wrap="">The massive earthquake that forced the closure of four nuclear power
plants in Japan has highlighted the grave risk of inadequate back-up
generators at U.S. facilities, a leading U.S. scientist group said on
Friday.
While the U.S. regulator made clear that the national nuclear fleet is
built to withstand the biggest earthquakes in history, scientists said
they needed to do more to ensure that future quakes don't risk the
kind of reactor impact that Japan is now grappling with.
"We do not believe the safety standards for U.S. nuclear reactors are
enough to protect the public today," Edwin Lyman, senior scientist,
global security programs, at the Union of Concerned Scientists, told
Reuters. The group supports nuclear power as a means to combat global
warming, but wants tougher safety measures.
