WASHINGTON — The head of the nuclear industry’s main lobbying arm is stepping down.
Frank L. Bowman resigned as president and CEO today “after much deliberation about the right course of leadership for our industry and the Nuclear Energy Institute during this period of dramatic change in the Congress and the White House.”
The Nuclear Energy Institute is a main supporter of Yucca Mountain, the federal government’s proposed nuclear waste dump planned for 90 miles north of Las Vegas. Bowman led NEI for four years.
“As a new administration and Congress prepare to govern in one of the most challenging periods in our nation’s history, this is a fitting time for NEI to take stock of how best to meet the challenging energy and environment issues that confront,” Bowman wrote in a letter to the board chairman.
NEI said Marvin S. Fertel, its executive vice president and chief nuclear officer, would lead the organization during the transition period.

Hey, nkls3713:
I wonder what karmic retribution might be in store for you. Not very Buddhist or Zen to call a person you've probably never met a "Scumbag."
And nor is it very karmically sensible to wish ill on others ("karmic reversal"), including "family and friends" that may have had nothing to do with the choices you mention.
Do you realize what kind of idiot you sound like when, in the context of good karma/bad karma, you wish bad karma on someone else?
And we're supposed to trust that you know the "TRUTH" about nuclear power when you don't even grasp the simple paradox of incurring bad karma for yourself when you wish bad karma on others?
You sound like some kind of obsolete god from Greek mythology who's been neutered by stupidity.
