Goldman Sachs Analyzes Nuclear Prospects After Japan's Tsunami

Goldman Sachs has issued a report on the concerns over nuclear plant damage in Japan.

According to Goldman Sachs, “With damage to nuclear reactors occurring in Japan as a result of last week's tsunami and earthquake, the read-across to the US nuclear industry appears modestly negative. News out of Japan shows continued concern regarding the Fukushima Daiichi reactors, which sustained damage during the major tsunami and earthquake(s) impacting northern Japan. Existing reactors in the US may face heightened regulatory oversight at the federal level - from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) – for safety and planning purposes.”
