"NRC rubber-stamps evacuation plans" around aging atomic reactors despite population explosions nearby

In the final installment, "Populations around U.S. nuke plants soar," in his four part series "Aging Nukes," AP reporter Jeff Donn reveals that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Federal Emergency Management Agency have not updated emergency evacuation plans to account for exploding population densities nearby many aging atomic reactors. Donn writes: " 'These population explosions are very likely to make the evacuation plan unworkable,' said anti-nuclear activist Paul Gunter at Beyond Nuclear in Takoma Park, Md., who has pressed for reviews of emergency community planning before relicensing."
