Japan is impacting debate on nuclear energy worldwide. The Boston Globe criticizes the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for granting the 38-year-old Vermont Yankee nuclear plant a 20-year license extension, saying last week’s decision “defies common sense.” The Globe criticizes the NRC for being “too close to the industry it regulates” and for not postponing the decision “until the lessons of Fukushima can be fully understood.”
