[Daniel Kane]

Just to clarify -

I am not the petitioner, my specialty is nuclear medicine physics.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] Proposed NRC Regulation open for comment

NRC has just published a petition for rulemaking open for public comment at
WWW.Regulations.Gov identified by searching NRC-2010-0088.

 

Petitioner Dan Kane requests: the petitioner requests that the provisions
that govern temporary storage of spent fuel after cessation of reactor
operation be revoked, that licensing of new nuclear power plants cease, and
that existing operating nuclear power  plants be phased out. The petitioner
believes these suggestions are necessary until the NRC can be assured of the
technical and economic certainties of a waste disposition decision and
associated political certainties in light of the current administration's
proposed defunding of the Yucca Mountain Repository for permanent disposal
and storage of spent nuclear fuel.

 

Just passing the information along for those that want to weigh-in.

Bill Rowan
