==Notes==
Personally, I'd be very interested in seeing a new approach to nuclear power plant management using information-age tools, and the "[[many eyes make all bugs shallow]]" approach: webcams on every console, doorway, and access point; publicly-accessible telemetry data; a wiki and blogs maintained by plant workers; chat rooms for workers to let off steam (or mention their worries) during lunch breaks (with convenient computer terminals in the snack rooms); cooperative ownership of the plant, with residents within "fallout" range automatically given priority in voting; and so on. Only in this way can we be sure that safety issues will not be shoved under the carpet, as is apparently being done at Shearon-Harris, our friendly neighborhood nuclear plant here in North Carolina. More nuclear plants without these tools will be business as usual; a nuclear plant with these tools might have a chance to actually be a positive thing. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 19:24, 5 October 2006 (EDT)
