@lillymunster yup the bubble is about to burst despite the fancy 'new reactor' nrc brochure .. and why are the nrc spending your cash on promotional material surely they are supposed to be independent and neutral???

@elainekirk The NRC really needs a deep congressional investigation.

Erm 'binned'....
The 2011 activities and accomplishments featured
in the section of this annual review entitled, “New
Reactor Licensing,” includes the significant progress
made this year in the AP1000 Design Center. The
staff completed its technical review of the AP1000
design certification amendment (DCA) and issued the
final safety evaluation report (FSER) in August 2011.
Furthermore, the NRO staff published a proposed rule
for the AP1000 DCA in the Federal Register for public
comment. The NRC received over 13,000 public
comments on the proposed rule; 62 of these comments
were unique. The staff “binned” the comments into
about 15 common categories, addressed them in a
timely manner, and prepared the final rule package for
the Commission’s review. The Commission approved
an amendment to the ABWR design certification to
address aircraft impacts. In addition, the NRO staff
completed the review of the Economic Simplified
Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) design review and
continued work on the U.S. Evolutionary Power
Reactor (U.S. EPR) and the U.S. Advanced Pressurized
Water Reactor (US-APWR) design reviews

Applicants for Grand Gulf, Callaway, Nine Mile
Point, River Bend, and Bellefonte have asked the
agency to suspend reviews of their applications.
In addition, Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings,
LLC, withdrew its Victoria County Station COL
application and subsequently submitted an ESP
application in FY 2010. The new reactor licensing
subprogram completed the technical review of the
first two COL applications in 2011. In 2011, the
NRC received no new COL applications. The
current review schedule for new reactor COL
applications appears on the NRC public Web site at
www.nrc.govThe page was last updated March 10th 2011 methinks I smell a rat why no updates??

@elainekirk I believe that means they had 15 trash cans in the office when they sorted those public comments

@elainekirk TEPCO asked to sea dump by March this year and was told no way.
by lillymunster 2/4/2012 12:34:56 AM

In the comments it talks about the worker falling in the spent fuel pool at San Onofre. Don't they keep railings up on those? I know Fuku has rails for theirs.

I am still trying to figure out a new (I think) waste building. It looked like a giant concrete dumpster. I kept telling myself I must be misunderstanding what it is.
