Nationalizing nuclear power is an outstanding idea, if only because nuclear power is always unprofitable business. Why not remove the entitled element  that expects to profit from the undertaking? If you believe that nuclear power is an efficient, useful and safe method of energy generation you are a rare bird. The nuclear industry itself doesn't believe this, else they would not seek government protections from indemnity and government subsidies and assistance at every level of operation. In fact, nuclear power as practiced today is an array of Rube Goldberg contraptions waiting to break down and spew deadly long-lasting human and environment killing poison over extensive areas.

Government should nationalize this beast if only to safely terminate it.
