The failure of three nuclear facilities after Friday’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan have raised questions about airborne radiation and the safety of nuclear energy.

Idaho National Laboratory http://www.inl.gov Director John Grossenbacher was confident that a similar disaster could not happen in Idaho. INL has two reactors, Grossenbacher said, but they are test reactors, not power reactors like those in Japan.
