Worst for nuclear power industry isn’t so bad

It’s my just my luck that whenever I write something good about an industry, something bad happens.

That’s how it went when I interviewed Gerald Grandey, CEO of Cameco Corp., one of the world’s largest uranium mining companies. In a Feb. 22 column, I channeled his views that nuclear power had proven to be a safe form of energy, despite all the hysteria from Three Mile Island and Chernobyl.  Three weeks later … Japan.

Grandey now points out that the worst has happened – and, really, when you compare it to other disasters such as BP’s  Gulf spill last spring – it isn’t so bad.
