Below is from our rapid response team . Yesterday, regional anti-nuclear organizations asked federal nuclear energy regulators to launch an investigation into what it claims are “newly identified flaws” in Westinghouse’s advanced reactor design, the AP1000. During a teleconference releasing a report on the subject, participants urged the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to suspend license reviews of proposed AP1000 reactors. In its news release, even the groups making these allegations provide conflicting information on its findings. In one instance, the groups cite “dozens of corrosion holes” at reactor vessels and in another says that eight holes have been documented. In all cases, there is another containment mechanism that would provide a barrier to radiation release. Below, we examine why these claims are unwarranted and why the AP1000 design certification process should continue as designated by the NRC. Myth: In the AP1000 reactor design, the gap between the shield bu...

The comment string was shut down for that reason and that reason alone.
As to obscuring what Miss Nevada actually said, like with all our posts, we included a link to the original source material so readers could decide for themselves. How we could prevent anyone from investigating that information is beyond me.
And as I went back and checked the original comments, I most certainly did not delete the comment directly quoting Miss Nevada.

1. Should we consider continuing to burn coal if it involves any health risk?
2. Should we consider continuing the sale of peanut butter if it involves any health risk?
3. Should we consider continuing the use of electricity if it involves any health risk?
4. Should we consider continuing the use of vaccinations if it involves any health risk?
5. Should we consider continuing the use of life-flight helicopters if it involves any health risk.
6. What is the major difference between questions 1 through 5 above and the question Miss Nevada was asked?
