The US nuclear industry wants to force out pro-regulation NRC leader

The four Nuclear Regulatory Commission members who are apparently owned by the nuclear industry, want the pro-regulation chairman gone.  And they’re trying underhanded approaches to make that happen.  In their view it seems that we can’t have an NRC that promotes safety if doing so will hurt the nuclear industry’s profits.  Profits, after all, are what matter, and I’m sure that’s appreciated in Japan right now.
