Cooper's paper presents a historical analysis of the 50-year debate over nuclear safety that highlights three persistent problems, the flawed organizational structure of safety regulation, the continuing operational challenges confronting safety of nuclear reactors, and the broad scope of safety concerns that are highlighted Fukushima.
