[ RadSafe ] Nuclear Regulatory Commission denies a license for new nuclear reactor

[Mercado, Donald Paul. (ARC-QH)[CONSOLIDATED SAFETY SERVICES INC]]

The briefing won't come up on my computer for some reason. Does someone have the Cliff notes on this? Is the NRC really commenting on the wind and solar issue?

new nuclear reactor

by Christina MacPherson

CALVERT CLIFFS-3 LICENSE DENIED!   http://www.nirs.org/    August 30,
2012. In a historic decision, NRC Licensing Board supports NIRS's
position and denies construction/operating license for Calvert
Cliffs-3! Key decision here. NIRS press statement is here.

The Licensing Board also issued decisions onNIRS' solar and wind
contention, and another contention related to Fukushima Task Force
issues.

On July 26, 2012, NIRS held a press briefing on the expected Calvert
Cliffs-3 decision and its implications for the nuclear industry with
Michael Mariotte of NIRS, Bob Eye, attorney for intervenors in the
South Texas licensing proceeding, and former NRC Commissioner Peter
Bradford. You can listen to the briefing here. Michael Mariotte's
opening statement is here.
