Yeah, try blaming the Price-Anderson Act instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price-Anderson_Nuclear_Industries_Indemnity_Act It essentially says that the nuclear industry is responsible for about 98% of disaster liability. This is a stark difference from other high-risk industries, where the government offers protection from liability. There are two sides however: The bad: It prevents capital investment in nuclear energy and raises the costs of insuring plants. 2. The good: It places liability on the nuclear plant which makes the companies more responsible.
