We discuss the recently reported discovery of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in theframework of the neutron star-neutron star (NS+NS) or neutron star-black hole(NS+BH) binary merger model. We concentrate on what we consider to be an issueof greatest importance: what is the NS merger rate given that the FRB rate(1/1000 yr$^{-1}$ per galaxy) is inconsistent with gamma-ray burst rate asdiscussed by Thornton and should be significantly higher. We show that there isno discrepancy between NS merger rate and observed FRB rates in the frameworkof the Scenario Machine population synthesis - for a kick velocity of 100-150km s$^{-1}$ an average NS merger rate is 1/500-1/2000 yr$^{-1}$ per galaxy upto z = 0.5-1. Based on the Scenario Machine NS merger rate estimates, wediscuss the lack of positive detections on the ground-based interferometers,considering the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory.
