46. The "nuclear industry" is your own fictitious construct. (as is your post)
There are dozens of property and casualty insurance companies that are part of ANI... so your statement is false (but par for your little course).

Not that it would matter a whit, since there is no "nuclear industry" entity. You might as well claim that all the customers at my healthcare insurance company are essentially "self insured" except for the profit the company makes. If the "industry" (i.e. power companies in general) WERE to set up their own insurance company, it wouldn't be unlike an insurance co-op. What would it matter than there isn't another firm taking a profit cut off the top? They're still insured.

Tell you what, let's repeal Price Anderson and watch what happens

IF that happens AND nobody can get insurance... THEN you can try to make your point. Trying to use your fantasy assumptions for what would happen in that event as evidence for other arguments continues to demonstrate your weak grasp on reality. It's only when you get to construct your own that your points have merit. The quintessential straw-man debate technique.
