Opinion on post 9/11 regulation
According to Lyman, despite the events of September 11, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has voted to delay implementation of safety and security upgrades in ways that will weaken protection of nuclear power plants.[2] Lyman says that these new moves illustrate an "ominous trend".[2]
