:I'd say you are trying to cram your entire POV, unbalanced, into the first paragraph.  I strongly prefer the current Intro over the above.  "Private generation" isn't all the Act is necessary for.  Criminal neglect is still speculative (it wasn't, for example, a factor at TMI), and if "wholesale irradiation" were possible in U.S. plants the NRC wouldn't have mandated only a 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone.  One agency (the EIA) of the DOE described it as a subsidy - but there has been no "transfer of wealth" as the government has never paid a dime for commercial plants' incidents, and it's very unlikely it will ever have to.
