At Atomic Insights, I've published numerous articles critical of Greg Jaczko's actions while serving on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In those articles, I occasionally attempted to discern his motives, d to speculate on his lack of technical understanding of the technology he was supposed to be enabling by keeping it acceptably safe, and to wonder about the sources of his apparent political power.After reading his well-written, honest account, I no longer have to speculate. As he clearly explained, he knew NOTHING about nuclear power generation when he arrived in Washington with an esoteric physics degree. After producing a philosophical, theoretical theory on the behavior of baryons and mesons, he decided that he really didn't want a career in science. But full of personal ambition, he thought he might try landing a job in Washington.He landed an AAAS fellowship, which meant that he would be free labor for a congressional office for 18 months. Congressman Ed Markey picked him from the roster of available fellows. During his 18 months in Markey's office, Jaczko learned strategies and tactics that were effective in Washington with an emphasis on Markey's special interest in "nuclear power plant safety" – which Mah-key has often used as code for "sabotaging nuclear plant economics whenever possible."After finishing his fellowship, he was hired by Senator Harry Reid. In Jaczko's own words, the reason Reid hired him was that he was looking for "a scientist staffer to help him fight another nuclear power battle." That battle was killing the Yucca Mountain long term nuclear waste storage repository, an action Reid had been promising his Nevada constituents for decades.Jaczko reveals the sordid story of how Reid took advantage of [abused] Senate traditions to force his chosen staffer onto the Nuclear Regulatory Commission despite bipartisan opposition and strong resistance from people who favor the use of nuclear energy as a major weapon in the battle against climate change and energy vulnerability (the opposite of energy dominance.)Jaczko also provides a fascinating account of a White House meeting with Rahm Emanuel who told him in rather profane language that he was being given an important job regulating a technology that played a vital role in addressing climate change, one of President Obama's two highest priority issues. Rahm told him not to make trouble and not to eff it up. Jaczko left the office resolved to do his own thing and to "clean up" the NRC.Anyway, I highly recommend Jaczko's "Confessions" for people interested in nuclear energy as a powerful tool for providing abundant, clean energy and wondering why the industry seems to be struggling so hard to compete with inferior power sources.Jaczko has laid it all out and appropriately given himself a large slice of the credit for driving nuclear costs higher just when they needed to start falling. He brags about his role in slowing approvals for the new plants at Vogtle and Summer while acting surprised that they fell behind schedules created before his meddling occurred. He claims that the Fukushima accident, which did not harm anyone by exposure to radiation, proves that nuclear energy is not safe enough to be used anywhere.That claim is completely devoid of understanding society's need for abundant, emission free energy and its acceptance of the fact that no technology is or needs to be perfect in order to be effectively used to help us thrive.Jaczko's book highlights one of the major improvements in nuclear regulation that must be made. No single person should ever be granted such unilateral ability to sabotage such an important and useful technology. Jaczko acted in complete obedience to his congressional mentors, Markey and Reid, even when he was clearly informed that his actions were contrary to the President's agenda.Read it. Learn from it. Help make the world a better place.
Unfortunately, the NRC has had a few anti-nuclear members over the years, since the commissioners are political appointments. Jaczko was always anti-nuclear. It's not some kind of sudden revelation as it is presented. While he was at the NRC as commissioner, and then chair, he was surrounded by knowledgeable people who would immediately shoot down anything counterfactual, so he was constrained in how he expressed that. It seems likely that this was at the root of his abusive and unsafe (in NRC terms) management style - he could not easily tolerate dissent, which is an essential part of safety culture.
TL;DR: Politial appointee tries to re-cast his partisan actions as a public safety campaign.Here, Greg Jaczko has made a noble effort to regain the narrative on his failed political career by publishing what is essentially his Beltway memoirs under the guise of being a policy book.To be clear, Jaczko long ago gave up any pretense at being a scientist and was arguably never a regulator, in that he didn't care to regulate the industry for the public good so much as his goal was shutting it down. He was a groomed political appointee, selected and advanced by anti-nuclear voices in Congress. Blink and you'll miss it in this book though, as Jaczko paints himself as a wide-eyed innocent just stumbling into a series of highly placed political jobs. He literally compares his story to the 1939 film, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".Reading this book requires you are fully committed to the idea of shutting down all nuclear work in the United States of America. Otherwise, the shifting arguments and appeals just become too tortured. For instance:1. New computer codes are developed to model fires in nuclear plants. Applying these changes to 50+ uniquely designed and built commercial plants in the USA would require considerable analysis and re-fitting costs. Jaczko doesn't want to hear any of this and wants these changes implemented immediately. The computer codes must be trusted!2. New computer codes are developed to model environmental conditions in Yucca Mtn, the (formerly) designated final repository for unusable spent commercial nuclear fuel. These demonstrate that the project can move forward in the state that Jaczko's political patron represents. Jaczko works to shutdown the project immediately. The computer codes cannot be trusted!Similar lines of reasoning drift in and out throughout the rest of the book. Essentially, if Jaczko thinks the results will cost the commercial industry money, then he paints the results as common sense and safety driven. If he thinks the results will hurt his political patrons or help the industry, then the results are flawed and he sets some arbitrary standard of perfection to avoid implementation while they are refined, ad infinitum.Stylistically, Jaczko does do a good job using both Beltway and technical jargon to confuse the key issues in this book. I could see why he thinks this rehabilitation of his reputation stands a good chance in the current political climate, if he can convince readers of his painted tableau: the nobel Mr. Jaczko Goes to Washington facing off against Big Nuclear and the Deep State, wielding facts as cudgels when useful or ignoring them as phantasms when they are inconvenient.Save your money and skip picking up this title.
Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator offers a chilling first hand account of the influence of the nuclear industry over the very agency charged with regulating it. The behind the scenes illustrations shows what happens when an independent regulator dares to be, well, independent. Thank you for sharing your experience with the public and reminding us about the dangers and costs associated with nuclear power.
A fascinating inside look at the worst nuclear disaster of our lifetime (Fukushima) from the man who lead the US response. Seeing two one star reviews below, I conclude they never bought or read the book and probably work for the companies whose profits would be reduced if all of Chairman Jaczko's safety suggestions were to be implemented. For anyone who cares about US politics, energy policy, nuclear policy, the environment or a potential disaster that could make an entire state uninhabitable for a century, this is a must read.
