congressman markey sent a letter to president obama calling for a moratorium on new nuclear plans. he says there is no clear plan in place for a nuclear accident and it is not clear what federal agency would be in charge. how could that be? >> there is the the nuclear regulatory commission. we are designed to withstand the most severe seismic events or earthquakes as well as tsunamis where applicable. and flooding. we have rules to deal with station blackout which is what they are experiencing in japan. i noted in your earlier discussion, what complicated the recovery of those units in japan is the one-two punch, the tsunami that came after the earthquake. those plants responded quite well to a massive earthquake. >> you well know you can't control mother nature.
