That whole article is worth reading. Pay close attention to this quote from the NRC spokesperson.
Quote:
"We want these emergency action levels to reflect actual emergencies as opposed to a condition that was not foreseen when they were developing these levels," said NRC spokesperson Neil Sheehan.
Since when is flooding a "not foreseen" event for Lake Ontario? The national weather service regularly predicts the weather events that cause flooding and also issues warnings about flooding in advance. How can a NRC spokesperson say something like this?
