“Ahem...the government insures and is liable for radiation leaks “
US plants are privately insured.
Sham. US and all other govs that prop up nuke plants lie through their teeth. Downwinders? Yup the gov waited until most died off and then admitted fault. Nuke workers? Yup the gov sued them if they filed medical claims for nuke induced illness until about 2000 when law passed stopping them from doing it. Above ground testing - yes they eventually get around to admitting they underreported by orders of magnitude. Nuke contamination left and right, nuke management incompetence resulting to harm to public. Lack of professional standards so you get nuke engineers who don’t understand dosimetry. Government denies it all - and that has been working for them for years. Doesn’t matter which government, Japan, France, US, Russia - all of them polluting, damaging human health and HAPPY TO LIE about it. HAPPY in the sociopathic sense. US used to take insults for being the insurer so what - shell game and now they still lie? Private insurance upon which they will never collect or wait a good 40 years and then settle, like they did with Downwinders.
Fukushima released far more radiation than they admitted but why tell the truth when lying has been working so well since the start of the nuclear age.
