OK, I have read that the nuclear power plants that will be built here will be run by Americans with Yemeni forces securing them. That makes me feel better, but I’m still not convinced that it is the best idea. If the same crews, or at least the same quality of crews that run plants in the US run the ones here, I really won’t worry too much about a Chernobyl type of incident. On the other hand, political instability is still an issue, as is the ability of Yemen’s forces to secure these places. It is common knowledge that bribes can be made to get just about whatever you want here. It seem probable that a wealthy backer could get access to the plants with some well placed money, either to steal stuff, or just do some damage. In any case, I feel a little better, but we should still be cautious.
