Indian Point or Oyster Creek: The Next Fukushima?

Here's a pretty good op-ed about New York's Indian Point plant.

The author makes his case without exaggerated fear mongering.

Here's another op-ed concerning New Jersey's Oyster Creek plant.

It's not so good.  It supports an anti-nuclear activist who claims he has evidence that the plant didn't follow an NRC order. He even went to the NRC and made a presentation.  The NRC and the plant have both said he has it wrong. So if the author's point is that, "Its incumbent upon the NRC not only to determine whether there was full compliance with the order but, more importantly, to assess whether the fire safety protections in place today are sufficient to ward off a Fukushima scenario in Ocean County or anywhere else in the U.S."

It looks like they've already done so.
