Dave Lochbaum: COVID-19 and the Atom

A message from Dave Lochbaum, formerly of UCS, who is serving as an expert witness in Beyond Nuclear's intervention against the 80-year operations license at Peach Bottom nuclear power plant in PA:

Good Day:

Some thoughts on the potential impact of COVID-19 on nuclear plant safety are provided in the [linked] paper.

Feel free to share as you wish.

COVID-19 is not good for nuclear safety - but there are measures already in place and others that can be readily expanded to minimize its badness.

Thanks,

Dave Lochbaum
