According to the Los Angeles Times, a new study released on Wednesday stated that the regulatory fallout from the Fukushima power plant disaster in Japan in March may short-circuit the U.S. nuclear renaissance of new power plant construction.

"This is an important moment to compare what is really likely to happen over the next 10 years with the industry’s expectations" of a nuclear renaissance, Cooper said. "When that comparison is performed properly, it becomes clear that we are witnessing not a revival but a collapse in expectations for new reactor construction."
