> It's about detecting safety issues which could lead to a catastrophe far beyond what a sea oil drilling rig can
A worker falling into a reactor pool (which is just room temp water with very little risk) is not a catastrophe, yet due to the absurd safetyism surrounding nuclear it requires a federal report.
We don’t require this level of cost insanity for far more deadly worker events at oil, gas, solar or wind facilities.
There is no systemic risk from worker falls. MAYBE the plant in question should address hand railing heights from pre-ADA construction. It certainly shouldn’t require multiple federal government employees to create a report on it and be publicly listed in federal register and reported on by hundreds of news outlets.

You’re making my point.
